Bad Day!! I cannot find the pictures of the block and heads. Luckily, this was nothing I owned. Oil pickup weld broke, 5000rpm, you know the rest.

2 years ago I had the pickup tube weld break and drop the tube....alarms went off and I shut it down before it even came off plane. Pulled the engine and fixed it the next weekend...put nearly 100 hours on it since then, still running great. VERY LUCKY!!!!!
