high water is bad.

 

my buddy locked the motor, i believe it sheared the camshaft and caused the timing chain to go through the oil pan.

 

i'm replacing it this week.

If that's all it did...he will be very lucky. Hydro-locking is typically a lot worse than that once you get inside and look.

oh, i'm sure it's worse.

 

i had traded an MJ rear cab section for another HO motor so he's very, very lucky that i have the parts to fix it. i'm getting some 31x11.50 TSL superswampers, a kawasaki jetski motor (low hours, very good $$$ on ebay), and $400 in my pocket for the swap. can't complain. :D

The only oil pan I've ever seen that looked remotely like that (hole was not quite as jagged) was a 81 K20 throwing a rod after doing ~100 to 110MPH continuously for 4 hours. With 4.10 gears and 29" tires, I was surprised the engine lasted that long at the rpms it was running. The owner was not very happy about that one...

Unfortunatly our motors are interference motors, so even if the only immediate damage it did was drop the chain, you'd still have valves hitting pistons.
