Holy **** Russ, what did I say I hope it wasn't in the other thread.. WOW.. This will be yet another reason I will not run meth... If you bent a rod, there is a good chance the cam might still be good. You will have to pull the head on that side, to check the lobe on the cam, for good measure I would also pull all the push rods to make sure they are good.. Talk about **** luck.. Sorry to hear. But might not be as bad as it sounds.. If it did it that fast, good chance it is just fluid in that cylinder

You have the same luck as me except I had an injector stick open when I put my blower on(don't trust used injectors). Threw a rod right out the block while cranking it up after it ran about 10 seconds.

The cam will be fine, I would pull the plugs and clean out the cylinders and do a comp. test just to be sure pulling the motor is required. More than likely there is a bent rod. I have seen this a half dozen times with boss hoss bikes, if you don't shut off the fuel when you trailer them,the needle and seat will jump apart when you hit bumps and fill the cylinders with fuel. I have never seen any other damage other than the one or two rods being bent. Good luck, hopefully you get it back together soon!
