That sure does look nasty Jay :eek: I sure wished I'd known before that you could buy this kinda stuff at Costco, probly coulda saved my self some BIG $'s :lolg: :reddevil

Anyway, I hope to be so lucky Jay. History is not with me here I'm afraid.

I used to have some photos of all the aluminum chunks in the engine but I can't find those. LOL yep, I went to Costco and charged a new "B" trim Vortech hhehehehe.

Hope everything is fixed up quickly on your end. :cheers:

86Moon,
