Sad day in Bonneville land
My engine finally popped.
I cried.
261K. I need to decide what to do with 'er.
I'm sad and you guys are about the only group that can understand my pain.

I'm not sure yet. I'll need to tear it down to find out. What hurts the most is that I just put a lot of time into doing the intake gaskets and a bunch of other maintenance. ::sigh::
Anybody want to buy a beautiful Bonneville that needs an engine?

It'* frozen solid. I can't even crank the engine over. I've thought about rebuilding this one with performance parts (cam, etc). But there'* so many miles on it that I'm not sure if it'* really worth it.
EDIT: Too sad for this ****. I'm gonna take the Civic and head into town and have a couple of beers. I'll be back on tomorrow sometime. Thanks for everyones condolences.
