Ouch. That's a pretty good frag. Looks like he was pushing some pretty high pressures with that thing...

Actually, yes. All apex seals were fine.

50+ psi boost, ran it lean and it detonated.

I bet that thing was smoking it butt off with that big of a hole, BTW was the rotor housing ok, looks like the metal may have been contained inside the rotor.

The rotor wasn't the only thing damaged. His oil pan was damaged as well resulting in a complete oil down of the track
