Message	Detonation broke the pistons. Piston pieces got in the oil system (ala Fram filter) Piston pieces ate the Rod bearing. Rod bearing siezed. Rod bearing spun. Rod bearing turned into more little pieces of metal. Piston hit the Head (More little Pieces of metal) All those little pieces screwed up the Main bearings. Piston slap didn't do the damage (worst it caused was blowby) "If Speed Kills, You're Talkin' to a Dead Man."
