No stripped gears or dropped bearings on the two engines, just stopped and on restart attempt the engine was difficult to start but started, half a lap later "pop". Engine seized and piston skirt found smashed off. The flash had run a perfect 20 min B final just before, very strange two engines same failure mode. Only common thing both about 18 months old.
