Thanks for the help guys. I can honestly say it must be a manufacturing defect, I know cars and take care of mine, I've built a couple on the side and helped to install several others. In my opinion, one of the cylinders went lean, blowing the piston out and thus allowing the rod to punch the oil pan and other things. The only other thing I can think of is I spun a bearing and it spun out of the rod enough to allow the rod to twist on the crank and thus break it. I will definitely make sure that the engine is a SVT replacement. I think I will go with a Quaife and a new clutch at this time. The engine should definitely be under warranty, so the $$ shouldn't be too bad. Thanks again.
