My wife's 79 ate an extra intake boot clamp screw and split a cylinder with huge plumes of white smoke as I drove it about a mile after it split ....It was good that I was driving because otherwise I probably would have tried to blame it on her

Loose nut behind the wheel could be the cause for all of the blowing

Piston return spring fatigue? You need a special tool to measure the tension on the piston return springs. And you cant reuse them .. If they become disconnected from the muffler bearings, you have to replace them and add more 710 fluid..
