Hey All,
I had a local shop change my valve seals and do an oil change on my LS1. Fri. afternoon. So when they were done I drove home and parked the car. Sat. morning around 10 am I turned the key and all hell broke loose. I immediately killed the engine and went to pop the hood. When I got to the front of the car I could see oil being carried away by the heavy rains we were having. I didn't see anything from the top of the engine but when I looked under the car I saw oil dripping and aluminuim all over the ground. When I looked under the car Sun. morning I could see a hole in the block near the starter. What is really a mystery is why the driver side header is covered with oil as if the oil filter sprayed oil all over it. What could have happened and is it possible the shop that did the work screwed something up.
