Post up pictures of the engines you've had catastrophic failures on. Ill start, here is a stout small block that died in 1997:

Made 342 to the wheels at only 5300. I remember seeing the big chuck of iron that blew out from the engine in my rear view mirror as it hit one of the big rigs behind me as I was heading uphill in the #1 lane in a 6 lane highway, and being incredibly scared. The small fire didn't help any either.

Do turbocharger carnage pics count? I just frag'd the turbo on my XR:

Broke a ring and the piece rattled around a bit making lots of interesting noises!
