Well.. maybe some of you guys have had to do this before as well, but it's killing me to see her like this.

Most of you know the evil WS6 having this under the hood..

Depressing.. Motor's coming out ASAP.

Didn't I hear you had a really bad rod knock in your engine? Did it finally crap out?

This reminds me of my summer.

You're a tad bit crazy for doing that in this weather though!

Yep.. that's the deal unfortunately. Gotta pull the motor and see what's wrong.. I'm hoping I can rebuild it, I'd rather not drop in a new motor. I can guarantee you that everything will be done right once the motor's out.

If it makes you feel any better, my engine crapped out too. Had a shop put in a cam and it was a tooth off, so an intake valve went through a piston...my 402 shortblock comes in on the 15th.

Which lid is that? I know its custom painted, but Im looking for one that fits better than my SLP lid.

Im sure the cat didnt like that

It was listed as an SLP lid when I bought the car.. but it's not. Pretty sure it's an MTI lid, 'cause it was textured, not smooth.

If you read it right, it says "I did my cat". It says nothing about working on cars!
What... my girlfriends name is cat?
