Blew another motor

[Pranav]

Running out at TWS (CCW) today, car felt tight and great, then I went off on T2, bumped a curb getting back on like an idiot.

Watched gauges like a hawk with plans to pit out for an inspection, motor locked up approaching T13-T14.

Thought I might've ruptured the pan and lost oil to cause this, but first look shows back of pan to be fully intact. Front of pan of course is chewed up from the rotating assembly trying to leave the motor through the pan. I don't recall an oil pressure warning or obvious signs of smoke out the back BEFORE it let go and siezed.

I'll know more once I pull the motor and have a clear view of the pan, to see if it was me and my bump that caused this. Unsure how else a motor that, after 5 weekends and three dyno sessions, returns clean oil filters, does not run lean (fuel trims and measured A/F) , nor does not misfire can go boom with no warning.

I've got the LT1 pull/undress/dress/install down like the back of my hand now. Part of me wants to get this sorted out by Cresson, part of me wants to throw in the towel and take a break for a while.

Anyone got a short block and heads?
