lower o-rings fully sealed and bent my connecting rod. The motor turned over originally but had a horrible knock. Turned the car off to attempt to troubleshoot. Cranked the motor over again and it ran but the knock was even worse so I immediatly turned it off. Pulled the plugs to find a few cylinders filled with gas. Upon pulling the motor out of the car I found the number 1 cylinder had a bent connecting rod and I never even let the car get above 2k rpm. But I completely agree that the starter couldnt bend the rod. Be careful though because it will eat through the flywheel teeth if your motor wont budge.
