No my car wasn't make noise it just stopped running. Warning, graphic pics
Honest to gawd I built this motor about 4K miles ago. The customer curbed the front nose and punched the front oil cooler. Kept driving it and then had it towed here. The story is that he was just driving down the street no noise no nothing and the car just died. This was at slow speeds. I have seen some motors come apart but this was one of the worse I have seen. As best as I can tell it came apart at high boost and high RPM because when the rod finally seized there is evidence inside the case the momentum didn't stop and the motor still was turning as the rest came apart. 30MPH my ****!! No I have to figure out how to put it back together

Looks just like a big block Chevy I built in the 70's that came apart while "idling" through the lights at Cecil County Dragway!
Aren't customers fun, lol.

Oh, the humanity....
In the EXTREMELY cynical world of emergency medicine, there is one invariant fact that I teach to my students, tongue only partially in cheek: "All patients are lying scum." That is, the history of the illness has a good chance of being inaccurate, to put it nicely. (e.g. "I swear, doc, I slipped in the shower and fell on that can of hair mousse [that is currently lodged in my sigmoid colon]...")
It would appear that as a provider of health care for Porsche owners, you, too, must suffer similar indignities.

Back to that motor...how can you tell exactly if it was an over rev, too much boost, low oil pressure..the carnage is so wide.
