and if my butler did that i might just shoot him with buck -shot to his *** lmao! . then i would fire him.. but its a shame to see this car sit any longer . i have the tools ,i have the garage to work on her but time , money , and memories of my dad kill me... mainly the memories.

How many miles are on it? Its a bit odd that it just went like that, maybe there was a cracked/broken apex seal just waiting to completely go?

Upon tearing the engine apart you'll see how bad it really was, if the apex seals broke and were moving around inside the housing it'll definitely have caused some damage to the rotor and rotor housing

miles on the rebuilt engine were 30 -40,000 body has 72,000 and tranny and clutch 1mile lmao ! not even ..well i got a buddy with 20b blocks and said if i can find a intermed plate for his 20b and the other he will give me one, but the rew block i have now in the car was a great motor did alot of stuff to it i will post pic of the engine and work to the internals in a few days have been working alo of hours , but dont know how it could blow from my house to the gas station which is maybe a 1/4 of a mile without going above 2,500 rpm i dont get it but once i rip the block apart i will be posting pics

Yea it doesn't add up, it had to be ready to go if it went without putting any load on it.

Did you do alot of hard driving on it?
