- The rods are fairly strong, but it is possible you bent one. I had a mild knock in my MGB engine at one time, and it was a bad rod bearing - the rod was fine, bearing went bad (due to operator error

- My gut tells me that it would be hard to bend a rod with just the torque of the starter motor, but I guess it's certainly possible. I would think that if the piston came up and found the chamber ful

- It sounds like Carl is concerned that he damaged his engine via hydraulic lock due to flooding. I am wondering if this is even possible; i.e. can the carb actually deliver that much mixture in one cr

- You guys are great. I feel much better about what happened. The oil level did seem a little high when I checked it later. Paul suggested the fuel overflow pipe was blocked. I had put a new rubber cle
