You threw a rod running just an intake and header? I thought it took more for that.

the oil was fine, but i think the oil pump went out, but im glad it blew when it did, during the summer not late at night 45 mins away from home but now im saving up for a b16 swap so its all worth it in the end.

there's many ways to throw a rod...power being one of them along with overheating, no oil, revving too high, or just a fluke
