Thanks for the info, eh? Carmelo, with the yellow beast I've posted pics of recently, is redoing his engine. He blew up on the way home from Kingston. I am pretty sure it was just not put together properly. I will pass your info on to him.
My stock engine was bulletproof, an indestructible block as far as I am concerned. After years of hard driving I finally overrevved enough to bend a pushrod and then went the total rebuild with the stroker kit and hi end parts. It is still indestructible - must be all that internal lubrication considering the oil it consumes. I will have news about it soon.
