I'm in much better spirits today Dubie after seeing that it is likely that no real damage is done. Just had no idea last night so I was pretty bummed. I can't wait to get off from work so I can run and get some new pushrods and try to get that rod out. This certainly explains why the motor felt like it had no power.

Stingray, it is reassuring to read of this happening to others, cause I just couldn't figure out what caused it. Guess this is one reason experienced motor builders recommend having exhaust on an engine when firing it up - so you can hear potential problems.
