Crank shafts have been known to break. I VERY narrowly avoided having it happen when a crack was found through #3 big end journal when he motor was being inspected in preparation for a long and hard drive. I was told I wouldn't have gone another 100 miles so you might say I got the best out of it. It was about 85 years old at the time.
