Actually this one has been just sitting for 4 years as a backup motor for my Nova. I think the machinist would stand behind it (bought the bare block from him then spent the bucks on it) if I brought it back to him like 3.8 years ago!!!! LMAO..

check this out,, even with a droid phone cam you can see the failure is only down through the deck and first ring,, but moving down towards the second ring.

When you're dead, it's only a problem for the people around you, because you don't know you're dead. .....It's kinda the same when your STUPID. I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
