**** man that tottaly sucks, what happened, what were the circumstances?

Gunburn · 01-03-2003, 09:34 PM

Well sorry bout the motor man but you had to be pushing that thing prity hard to shoot a rod.

what were you doing and how bad is the engine?

how many miles were on it?

PAnut240 · 01-04-2003, 03:14 AM

Well I wasn't pushing it hard at all. I was doing about 45mph around 3500rpms when it just started to loose power then it went. All in about 300 yards. I wish I had a good "I was hauling ass when...." story but I was just driving normal, breaking it back in.

And Yes it did have oil and Coolant levils full. It had about 35k on it.
The damage, oh just a small hole about 2in wide and 6in high right under the power stearing pump where the #1 cylinder is located. Luckly Dave found me a new block so I guess its back to square 1. Later

no problem Jim,

oh yeah, you might consider for safety sake getting some new rings and bearings for the bottom end, you just purchased. since it is a short block and its not that much work to pop the pistons and crank out.
It would just be a little extra added insurance . If you want I could look into those parts for it.

I would appreciate it once again freaq. I slept in today so I didn't get a chance to mail out your money order. I'll get it out on Mon. deffinately though. Oh, I'm a little rusty though, what all comes with the short block. I am fairly sure what it is but just want to make sure. I'm probably gonna get a lightweight flywheel for it while I'm at it. I'll try to send you a pic of what was left. Later
