The rod bent when the crank came back around and hit it and turned the piston slightly sideways you can see the hit marks, if the rod was bent first wouldnt i have noticed.... besides i highly doubt the rod bent and broke under normal driving conditions. For the logs yes i have over thirty from saturday night i was running 6.5degree full timing advance i have extremely low knock threshold to save the motor and the car was tuned conservative on pump and e 100 cause we were running out fuel. I never took the car past 8k and you can clearly see the pistonS dont have the slightest sign of any kind of detonation on the top or sides of them. As for misfire the car has never once in its life hiccuped i was not running a stock ignition either, if it doesnt ignite the fuel you will see lean on the gauge cause it doesnt read raw fuel also it would show more engine noise in the log.
