About 1.5 Years after rebuilding the Short Block on My Volvo Diesel I managed to knock a Screwdriver down into the Timing Belt resulting in Pistons and Valve making contact.

I had rebuilt a Dodge Slant 6 Engine and got about 2 years use out of it. I attempted to solder up a leaking Radiator seam where the Top Attached to the Core.
While on the Freeway 6 inches of the seam started leaking.
By the time I had it off of the Freeway I had a good Rod Knock going on.

Pulling and taking the Engine apart I found the Crank Shaft damaged as well a scored Cylinders.
I saved it to rebuild it at a later date but managed to lose the Main Bearing Caps. Was out of work and gathered up all of My scrape Metal including the Block and sold it.
Several Months later I found the Bearing Caps in a Box.
