Well I have monday off and thouht I would pull the motor And get it out to Hauf to have him start on it. Got the check from the trailer on friday So I now have a few bucks to get this thing fixed! So christian stoped by to shoot the shit and pick up the last 3 gallons of C-16. So he leaves and I start to pul the pan off and get it down to the short block. So I look down the cam hole and see something very bad. Well when the roller came off it was stuck between the cam and block and popped a whole in a coolant passage. I will now spend my monday seeing if it can be fixed. Will give the head shop in nevada and see if they can crack check it and if they can fix it. After the picture it looks like there is no cracks past the hole. But that is my eyes! I dont plan on driving it on the stree anymore so maybe we can just fill the block up half way and call it good. Here are a few pics!

ouch man- serious bummer. what kind of block is it? i would assume not factory, just wondering what you were running. hope it can be saved!

[BUCKETT]

It is a SVO W block.

that sucks! looks like you and i both fell on the bad luck band wagon for 2010! it would be nice to get my car running where it should be but i guess sept 11th will tell me!

yeah sucks man, I couldnt even venture a guess as to if thats repairable or not.. Seems anymore valve train is majority of engine failures, what type of lifters were you running in that thing?
