Why do they do that? Looks like it has 4 bolts for each cylinder. Do the bolts just fail or does something happen that causes the engine to detonate like that?
Flying pistons!!!!

i would assume the bolts failed due to a shock load, i.e. the piston instantly seized in the cylinder sleeve and since it was still being pushed by the rest of the engine, the bolts snapped and went for a merry ride.
A little ARX or MMO would fix that up nicely.
perhaps more mobil 1. looks like it needs more iron in key structural places.
Lol, you can't use oils containing zinc in locomotive engines. These locomotive engines only turn about 900rpm at full throttle despite the fact they sound like they are spinning alot faster, especially the EMD engines. Im not sure what the cause of failure is in the GE engines, it is something I will have to look into.
