It looks like a rod went through the block -- why was he wrong? The balance shaft took damage from it happening. If it was THE balance shaft failing, you would have seen grinding marks on the oil journal on the shaft, and it wouldn't explain why there is a hole in the front of the block.

The motor made a twin-patio-door, when it said bye-bye to the rod and piston.

Either way, good luck! :thumb:
 
Dude, a little JB Weld and a buffer and that'll clean right up. LOL

(edit: some one beat me to the jb weld reference hahah )
