3B Rod through Block

[Bob]

Well Im not exactly sure how it happened. I was on moderate throttle, 
(fairly low boost) when it stumbled a bit. I immediately clutched, 
pulled over and parked it.  I turned it off  right away.
Pulled the plugs and #2 was full of oil and water. It seems the head 
gasket failed, filled the cylinder with water/oil and hydrolocked.  
Thats the guess of the day. :)

Wow, how'd this happen?
I did it in a Saturn at the track, we figured it had oil starvation from 
high RPM downshifting and the whole thing went pop later in the day 
after some "knocking" noises earlier......................
