How did this even happen?

This a engine block where the piston of cylinder number four completely fell apart. This resulted in the connecting rod to puncture a hole in the side of the block. While the cause of the failure is unknown, it must have made a whole lot of noise when it fell apart. #digitalplanning #lemon8challenge #cars #mechanic #carstuff
