    #5 broke on mine the exact same way. did you by chance use clevite parts? i redid my entire motor and also a new head and spacer plate. did you get any answers yet on the initial issue that caused the problem?

    Chip I went with IPD parts for my rebuild, they look like quality parts all brand new no reman stuff... but 8k miles into it lost a piston cooler and trashed number 5.. so I had it pulled apart and ask them mechanic to replace all six coolers and repair #5 with IPD.. looks like they put something other than what I asked for..resulting in broken flange, I'm thinking it sat higher and had more crush than the others....
