When I was a kid, some friends of mine had a 40-something Chevy car they drove around in the woods. One time they broke a piston that mostly landed in the oil pan in pieces.

They dropped the pan and hacksawed off the big end of the rod and took the rest of the rod and the broken piston out. They put the oil pan back on, removed the push rods from that cylinder and drove the Chevy all over that mountain for at least 2 more years.

I think they only quit driving it because they graduated from high school. Fun times!
