## Discrepancy

NR CYLINDER ON LT ENGINE SEPARATED BETWEEN CYLINDER BASE AND FIRST SET OF STEEL COOLING FINS.  THE CONNECTING ROD WAS TORN FROM THE CRANKSHAFT.  THE SEPARATION ALLOWED THE CYLINDER TO MIGRATE OUTWARD ABOUT 2 INCHES.  THE FUEL INJECTION LINE WAS TORN OFF AT FUEL INJECTOR.  BOTH PUSH ROD TUBES FELL OUT AND INTAKE TUBE WAS PULLED OUT.  PROBABLE CAUSE IS CYLINDER AND PISTON SEIZED TOGETHER.
