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.

Wow. :( Sorry to hear that. How did it go? Throw a rod?

we told you to change the oil, now didnt we.

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?

hey man, i did. so bugger off :P

261K,that ain't bad. Thats more than some make it

Rebuild her........Faster,Stronger,Better

How did it die? Just lock up or rattling but still running? I bet you can rebuild it.

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.

Geez, it ran so good and strong back in March. :? Sorry about that, it was a great car.

Try pulling the plugs and cranking it, You may have hydrolocked the motor, espeically if you had a leaky intake gasket.
