[rage'nrat638]

well i just drove the 69 today to work for the first time with the new engine.
went to work no problem..on the way home i start to hear some knock???
grinding noise..my stomach sunk..if you have seen my belly thats alot of sinking

i drive home get in the drive way i can hear it ...don't sound like rockers so i go underneath and i can hear noise i am about to cry

i get up..thinking is it low on oil? pull the stick the ends bent. it was rubbing on the crank ? don't ask...strighten it out ..reinstall .. problem sloved

some times i feel .. if it was not for bad luck i would have none at all..
or was i lucky?

BEWARE the dreaded bent dip stick
