blown up brick

[linuxman51]

So I finally chiseled the holy block out of the other 'vo, Jess should have a pic of the hole in the side, I'ma do a photo shoot of all of it again in the sun (the piston, rod, "bearing" "bolts"). Pretty neat. Just goes to show, ya can't run on 1/2 a quart of oil.

Well, OK, I dunno how much was in it, but suffice to say, the hole was way above the oil line and opposite the oil galley, and all that came out was about 1/2 a quart (and a lot of anti-freeze, altho i didnt notice a hole in the water jacket).

Fun times :lol:

Umm...Ouch.


I don't think I want any help from you Kenny, if I end up getting a Volvo. :P

**Edit** Greyson just told me that it's the car you bought to fix up and sell. Nevermind. :D

oooohhhh i thought it was "your" actual driving brick ( "the brick"). makes sense now. damn... good luck

I wonder how that hole got there? Damn Kenny, I know you love volvos and it gets pretty lonely over in the ghetto, but there's no need to violate a poor defenceless block :wink: :P

Damn Patrick did a good job on that car. I still wanna see other pics of it. When the cam seal went out on his car we drained the oil and he only had about half a quart in then. Then he drove it speewing oil out for two more days before replacing the cam seal and didn't top it off.

Better use one of the big band-aids for that one! :o

Please. I'm above such things. If/when I blow mine, the holes will be *much* larger :D

Yea, I'm not gonna say how much I paid for the car, suffice to say the shell is in near perfect condition, and its worth my time, effort and a little money to fix :D

So what kind of shape is the rest of the car in?

[linuxman51]

extremely nice, theres a small dent right behind the passenger side turn indicator (looks like someone backed into it at some point) that i'm gonna fix, and when I clean it and do the waxin and stuff it should look cherry. The interior is damn near perfect already and i haven't touched it.

You're welcome Kenny.
