Could the cause be from the harmonic balancer?

This is the EXACT same thing that happened to my motor last year. Crank snapped, pistons went, rods went, cracked block etc!

That is the only thing I can think off now that everything is apart.

Block cracked first. Happens all the time. Then the crank after from the block not holding the crank true. Notice how the crack goes all the way to the cam journal?

Did you ever figure out what was the cause for yours?

This happened to me as well many years back. I was using a zex 125 shot, stock bottom end, and stock injectors. not sure what happened first, but i had a bent rod, split crank, and cracked block. Lesson learned here, when using a power adder, there is a wrong way, and right way. I went the half ass route and grenaded a motor.
