Heres the winner! ^^^^ so i ended up driving it home to find that that the rod flew right through the block and it still drove! i have never seen an engine do that before

all the cylinders had 135 except for the first one! is this common? i have a bunch of friends throw rods and the stuff was toast. I plan on driving this to the graveyard if it lets me!

great condition shell for sale if anyones interested! im located in DE btw

 

If it threw a rod, I really don't think it's a good idea to keep driving it...

 

im only driving it to the junk yard.... wish i could keep it but i just built my civic engine and cant afford to at the moment or have extra space for a truck that doesnt run

 

Oil under your tires is a really bad combo,I worry alot about this when I am drag racing, perhaps you would consider towing it to the juckyard in the interest of public safety.

If you were closer to AL I would give you what the scrapyard would give you...I hate to see a dentside go to the yard...

 

Ditto, wish I still had my open trailer, I would come get it.

 

My 79 did this a few years ago. Sucks to hear you getting rid of her.

 

Post up some pictures, perhaps I will come over and take it off of your hands.

 

Yeah, some pictures of her would be cool.

 

I guess we are not going to see it, or get a chance to get it,........

 

Might as well close this thread now.
