After all the abuse...

[Goat Blower]

That reminds me of when me and Mike Bertz were heading back from Slippery Falls after his repeated 30psi runs on pump gas and a stock 7-bolt. About 20 miles out of RF, I saw smoke in my rearview and him pulling over. We popped the hood and there was oil everywhere, smoke and a little wisp of a flame from the huge hole in the rear of the block just like Nash's. Doh, that sucks, but like every part failure, it's just time to upgrade the part. Now let's hope we don't get the rash of cracked cylinder walls that are plagueing more and more DSM'rs around the country with 2.4 blocks.
