Nope.
But I have heard the term THERE'S ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE. Where's the spacker-smiley when you need one!? 
Don't think I've heard anyone say "spacker" since 1988

Hmm, use the ingested engine parts to create an "exploding engine" effect (like the trophies on Burnout Revenge)
Call it "Piston Broke" and say it's a tribute to the push for excellence that causes your downfall
You'll make thousands if you're arty-farty enough about it

I'm not reveling in your misfortune Scootz by any means! In my time I've bought enough 'working' engines that were actually
far from working to do that Having said that it has taught me if breakers say an engine is a 'non runner' odds are it's really
REALLY broken.......... and one that is really REALLY broken

Sympathies.
I bought two engines from a sidecar chap in Scotland. Both run, one slightly down on power.
First engine, blown cylinder head (no compression on 2).
2nd Engine, 4 valves smacked to hell, 2 of them embedded in a piston.
Lots of spare parts though!
