I was going through some pics for a 6.5 topic and ran across these from a "rough running" '06 Dodge. We were not entirely sure as to the reason for the failure but the customer recently had stiffer valve springs installed, by another shop I might add.

- Unfortunately, the violence in the cylinder caused the wall to crack. Major engine failure.
