Spook, Pete's engine went bang because a harmonic balancer bolt came loose and the balancer moved off the crank causing it to tear the front of the block apart. And yes it was balanced. Wayne's engine didn't go bang it just developed a water leak in the block so he replaced the block with a dart block. used all his original internals. (apart from bigger pistons for 4.125 bore) I think Denis engine was about 20 years old like mine and didn't agree with the pressure the supercharger was putting on it.... Not sure about wazzas antploding engines...
