RE: [Chevelle-List] found the cause of my (most recent) problem...
My brother does not appreciate the fact that oil is cheap, needs to be
checked and changed regularly. He has seized/blown apart two Kohler lawn
tractor engines while we lived at home and last year borrowed one of my
dads Suburban's for a period of time - small oil leak - no big deal - never
checked oil level over period of time - oil depletes = seized engine. My
dad has made cut away trophies of the lawn mower short blocks reveling the
damage. And for Christmas last year my brother got the dip stick from the
truck nicely mounted on a varnished piece of Oak with a arrow pointing to
the "Full" mark.

A nice two-piece trophy for your toolbox. :) I have the twisted & mangled
piston and rod from my blown-up 400 and a twisted-off driveshaft yoke as my
two trophies.

I have a mangles piston/rod and a broken lifter from my blown 327, a bent shock from my Chevelle, and a bent pushrod from the Chevelle as trophies too. Without going into detail, I have a broken tail light grill from my '69 Dart that is no more, and a grill emblem from my College Torino wagon beater...

I always take apart the "new" crate motors before installing them. Good thing I do. If you buy a new crate motor be sure & pull the pan & intake & check, if anything looks funny pull the heads also, only costs gaskets. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
