You don't need a large amount of water, I'm just saying.
You have some serious damage to the cylinder wall, almost like it was just blown out, maybe not water from the exhaust, maybe a blown head gasket then.
In my opinion, I am just saying, to me, unless you just kept running the motor, on the gas, with a broken valve bouncing around in there, it is not going to blow out the whole cylinderwall out and turn the piston sideways before it breaks off the wrist pin boss.
I have seen some brokenracecarshit that let go at a Kagillion RPM and driven a ways "cause it's already broken" and I haven't seen too many like that.
Course I'm not the expert, I was just offering suggestions so you make sure the motor is the only problem you are having and not something else.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help to laugh.
It just died ey?
No noise or anything?
That was one hell of a bang I think.
Sorry about your day on the lake.
Looked like it obviously dropped a valve, but may have hydrolocked first. Make sure you check out the exhaust system before you put another motor in.
Might save you from buying a second motor.

It made a noise, but sounding like the starter hitting the flywheel. I normally cruise about 4-4500 rpms, so 5,000 is probably close.
Dan
I'm bettin the noise was the valve hittin the piston, it looks very similar to the damage I was having.
How old was the motor, did you have any bent push rods?
That sucks, I hear TAPS in the background!!!!!
I appreciate the help Brian. I am not sure what all happened wither. The headgasket looked good with no visable spots of it leaking. The head and block dont have anything showing a head gasket problem. Motor was about a year old. No bent pushrods.
What type of valves are/were you running?
Stainless steel. The intake valve is the one the broke.
Dan
OW!!!!! That just made me sick looking at those photos.... sorry to hear your bad ness, looks expensive
