Unhappy toasted a motor yesterday

i heard a little knocking early in the day and by 5:00pm it had unbolted the jurnal and bound in the block. as i was going down the mountain i got it to turn over and fire up, and it lasted long enough to get through the hard parts . i was towed out the rest of the way by a '81 toyota that had three holes in the radiator. this morning we fixed the bad readiator and towed mine home and started to try to destroy the motor by replacing the oil with water veia the large hole in the block (you can see in one side and out the other side) . it is interesting to see the crack spin as it unsteadily RUNS ON 3 CYLINDERS. as it sits it will still turn over and almost run. i will try to get pic's after i pull it.
