Mmmmm, OK. That's a new one on me. I was plagued with a flashing CEL on my truck even after I rebuilt the engine. I soon discovered that the catalytic converter was plugged since cylinders 6 and 8 were reporting the misfire. I don't see how a misfire can throw a rod.

As for the Catalytic converter problem, I was unaware that a flashing CEL could mean raw gasoline is destroying the catalyst. So that was something I learned.
Sorry for the run-on sentences. I just woke up, and I'm not a morning person.

I don't know about dumping raw gas ruining the catalyst, but my problem was the coverter being clogged, which in turn sends too much back pressure to those cylinders and results in a misfire.

I'm in school for auto tech, so I'm learning more and more each day.
However, what i said about the misfires, I know is correct. I've seen them all happen first hand at work.
