After someone did a "hit & run" on the front bumper of my wife's Avalanche last week I thought "what next????".
Yesterday was a great weather day..... VERY SUNNY & temps in the upper 60's.
So after a LONG Winter's nap I started the bikes & also let the Opel run for awhile a couple of times during the day.
Just as I was about to shut it off I revved the engine a few times as we tend to do and all of a sudden there was a bang & the engine immediately quit running.
I looked under the car & oil was pouring out of the oil pan and a rod was sticking out.
After anxiously waiting all Winter to have fun with the Opel this upcoming "cruise season" my plans have changed.
No doubt I am going to find more stuff in the oil pan. Hope to get the "energy" to crawl under the car sooner or later. Right now I'm just trying to deal with it.
I do have an older LT1 block that used to belong to my best friend who passed away a few years ago. I had plans to "build it BIG" one of the days. Guess that "day" is all of a sudden NOW!!!!!
