I think Jeff hit the nail on the head. 3.2's have got a rep for rod bolt faliure. over revs are a real danger as the bolt stretches, then the nut is effectively backed off and loose. ends up either failing though a floating rod cap or because the nut comes off. nitemare. what else is mangled? have you got any pics?
