Piston engines always fail in spectacular ways, but I can honestly say I've never seen one simply split in two. That's right folks, those aren't cylinder heads you're looking at, that's the block. Amazingly, according to the owner, all the spinning bits of the engine were completely undamaged.
I'm trying to think how that could've been done. Maybe when it was being cast, there was a pause in the steel pouring when it got halfway full?
