Mine hates me,or I'm just plain cursed.

I had engine troubles with the last engine I had,so I parked my truck in 2002. I was just sick of it. I tried again last year,but I had a miss I never could get out of it.

I decided to bit the bullet and build a 388 stroker. I finally got it back from the builder,and I fired it Saturday. It promptly filled the crankcase full of coolant due to a crack in the head around one of the head bolts. I felt like I had been kicked between the legs.

My builder and I pulled the head,and that's when he found the leak. He's supposed to get it welded up this week. I'm supposed to take my truck to the Hot Rod Power Tour and the Cruisiapalooza event in Little Rock this weekend,but it's not looking good. It will be a thrash for sure.

I really do think I'm cursed.
