You can plan for only so much.

One doesn't expect to lose the entire assembly & I don't think you can prevent something else under the chassis from becoming 'next in line' unless you build it for that failure.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
