Never heard of crankshafts going...

...but chilled cast iron CAMshafts are a different story.

But that's more of a vacuum pump blowing up and jamming the timing chain and then the camshaft gets broken.

Alternatively majorette mechanics who like twirling camshafts prior to assembly might have had the odd mishap when they dropped them.

Small print => please note not all OM61X camshafts are chilled iron check your FSM for details!
