In a unforseen destructo-train of events wounds my Subaru 360 and left me scratching me head for answers. The mystery is unfolding. Unknown to me, a large crack on the top of the oil tank funnelled rainwater acumulated from a wet winter. The water sinks to the bottom of the oil and is injected into the crankshaft. My crankshaft bearings starve for oil get hot and, explode into bits. The bits wedge the crankshaft into the case stopping all jolly good microcar fun with neck snapping skidmarks. It all happened in a split second with no warning while driving along @ 45 mph. last sunny Friday . The skid marks (in my shorts) and on the street are still there two weeks later.
