That sucks, Jeff. It will all work out in the end. Now you can get a stronger shortblock and make even more power. Focus on the positives.

By the sound of the symptoms, I'm guessing it dropped a valve.
Regardless of what happened, I'm sorry to hear it. I was anxious to see what a full top-end built coyote could do on a stock short block.
