Sorry to hear all of this. I hope you get it sorted out.

Not isolating just pontiacs I've owned; but I never had a crank, head, or block break, nor have I ever "windowed" a block, but I had Whole bunch of other stuff go wrong. Spun several bearings, scored cranks, blew head gaskets, bent stuff, etc.
