How did that happen? It looks like it hydrolocked. Was fuel leaking into the cylinder or coolant?

569 hours on her but less than 2 years since purchase. Not only do I have the "stock" 5-year powertrain warranty, but I opted for the extended 10-year upgrade. It is a 3-cylinder Iseki. I am hoping that they do not find anything that they will claim is abuse or whatever to get them out of replacing at least the short block.

I have used her to her limits but not abused her. She has always had AGCO oil and filters (on time), and I rarely have run her in the yellow zone on the tach, usually in the mid-green range. Never has it been overheated.

The left side of the block has two more holes in it, but they are hidden behind the injector pump, and I could only see them looking through the hole on the right side. I used one of those strong magnets on a roller and amazingly, I was only able to find two pea sized plus one half-dollar sized pieces of the block. So, the rest must be in the oil pan along with rod cap, while I assume the rod and piston have been shoved up against the head.
