John,
"Everything goes wrong at once" does NOT describe your situation.
First it was perhaps worsened by what you admitted was a kludge of
running the engine breather direct into the intake system, which
should be metered thru a pcv or the like. All that oil in there is
not good. But you only lost rings and a piston! It could have been
much worse...dropped valve, scored cylinder, gouged head, cracks in
block...I for one am glad for you that it is this little damage. And
please get the breather thing right before running it again...even if
you don't have it going anywhere but out to soil the air, thats
better than what you had!
