With all good intentions, up early, we set out with plans to spend one of the first truly warmer days just wheeling in a local area up here. I set out in my trusty jalopy, with these days looks like this:

we have our 7am breakfast at the best place around, fuel up, and head off.


approximately 2 miles later, my shit goes BOOM, shudders and emits a ton of blue smoke. I get it off the road. We look under it and laugh.

AA tows me home, drops it in the garage, we proceed to write the day off, drink beer and pull the pan:

this is the hole we were laughing at in the pan:

we laughed harder when we saw the block above it:

hottest piston never really recovered from that water crossing a while back I'd say.

from beneath, looking up:

time for that 350... I wasn't really even annoyed other than losing the day, this engine was gonna get pulled eventually...
