Sounds like that was too close to the home.

seen it happen more then a few times here in the last 6 years. it hardly ever works out well. hell one guy had a shop rebuild it, and it lasted 50 feet lol

its the cost for me, im not spending 2500 to rebuild a engine for a car thats only worth 2000 maybe. makes no sense at all.

my engine took a crap and i tossed in a top swapped set up for like 400. thats all new gaskets oils coolant bolts porting tools paint included.
