i thought punching holes in blocks was impressive but this has topped it for me. This 1ZZ engine from a Matrix came knocking into the shop and everyone thought it was a spun bearing but nope.

High rev and throwing it into reverse or park? Either that or spinning the tires and having them rapidly stop from hitting something.

There's always a chance it had a fault in the crank, but it's rare...

Did the owner fess up to what might have caused that? I mean fuck... I've seen some gnarly cranks before, but wow. Buddy of mine threw his 1zz Corolla well into the 8-9k range once, trying to shift from 5th into 4th, grabbed 2nd instead... at like 85mph. Car is still running fine to this day.
