Seasons over for me

[67weimann]

Well, just toasted my motor earlier this week. Went out for a peacuful afternoon after work and after a pass around the lake, I looked back to see oil EVERYWHERE. Stopped, pulled dipstick and what did I see? Milkshake...
Trailered it and brought it home, pulled a valve cover and it was horrible sight. So I started the tear down. Got the heads off and noticed what seemed to be a crack in the cylinder wall of #4. Finished tear down today and #4 is definately cracked and #1,4,5,7,8 top rings were all broken. Time to build it bigger and better. So much for summer. Think of me when you guys are out there soaking up the rays and the beers...

Very unfortunate . I'm sure someone has an extra seat you can occupy during the summer.

If you are a hands on guy:
Take the block to a machine shop and have them sleeve the hole.
Put a set of rings in it....wipe it's ass and throw it back in and finish the season.
Then start over....with another block in the winter.
