Default Vandalized LS1

Well like the title says, went to get my SS out from winter storage, started it up ran for a few minutes and BANG BANG BANG. Turns out some time this winter some one broke in my shop siphoned all the gas and got the bright idea to pour some type of liquid in my oil, waiting on oil analysis to come back.

Been looking at Scoggin Dickey forged 346 or possibly forged 383 anyone had any experience with their engines? My last 346 was built by HITECH Motorsports in MN. and it was great seems like S/D's engines are a great buy.

Yep, coolant is full and around oil filler was drips that looks and feels like pop and then the drips run down the passenger side fender over the tire on the rim down to a puddle on the floor

Did you file a police report? Will your insurance cover it?
