On Monday night, i was followin' my friend as he drove another friend of ours' Mustang Corba, i was playin' catch-up after an intersection... floorin' it in 1st and 2nd, in 2nd around 7k, i heard a pop, crack and a draggin' sound and throw the car into N, the revs die down like normally would when put into N, and at around the normal idle (900-800) it just dies off, and i get out and i'm just pourin' oil like i opened the drain plug! it's just above the oil pan, wasn't sure at all what it could b, at first i thought i lost my drain plug, then got a flash light and say it, k, now what? my oil filter crack, blew, etc, nope, still there in good condition, there's oil all over my engine bay, so i wait until Tuesday evenin' when i can go w/ some friends to look at it somewhat in the air, the 1st thing we find in the light is a small piece of my block.... looks like a threw a rod through the block... bad news? mayb... then i think... B20 frankenstein?
not sure yet, i'll find out when i have it towed to a friends shop and have it actually up in the air, but i'm guessin' its the block, is so i'll do a B20 block, now do i get 11.5-12 compression for NA/AM? or do i get 10ish and decide later? or do i get 8-9ish for some forced induction?? still not sure, but i'm hopin' my insurance will pay for at least some of the "repairs"
k, later,
Jay
