Ouch!
My 4th -> 1st money shift (about 85MPH, by the time I let the clutch partially out) - still span well over 7K on stock 3.3 rod bolts (no idea why PO didn't use ARP).
The Porsche gods briefly allowed me the delusion that I'd dodged the bullet... 10 days later, just pottering along, rod bolt on #6 came undone/bearing span, oil pump filled up with ally swarf and tensioners collapsed...
But no top-end damage, other than minor scuffing on #6 skirt/bore.
