RE: FOX is back!!!
This can be a tricky issue, I had a friend who broke a rod and found out later that some light bowl work in the porting of the heads had found a casting imperfection. The car ran great for a month and then went to pieces on startup. The coolant pressure in the intake port had finally pushed through the weak area in the intake port and spewed coolant into the chamber. Liquid does not compress so a bent pushrod, broken camshaft, and snapped rod occurred. In a situation like yours, vigilant inspection is of utmost importance to find the CAUSE of the failure in order to prevent further problems.
