I threw a rod in my 7MGE at like 2000 revs. Half went through the no. 5 wall, the other have went down into the oil pan (punctured it) then up into the no. 6 and went through that pistons' wall. Afterwards, it would still crank over with the starter (and actually fire too). It eventually stopped starting (after obvious massive oil leak), but I could still hand crank it with a breaker bar; it just got difficult every now and then. One of these days I should take a pic of that no. 5 piston and post it up here; it's pretty sick looking.
