sad day... blew a hole in my block.. HELP! well... yea my car has been making noise for the past few days... and i thought it was a couple of things.. first i thought it was a dry lifter, so i added an oil additive... 2nd i thought it was bad engine ping so i added an octane booster... well today i started it up... and KABOOOM... oil was spilling everywhere... got underneath my car saw i blew a nice size hole in my block..
i have 2 options of course... replace the block?... is it really worth it or am i doing it the cheap way??.. and if thats okay.. where can i find a stock 01 SS block for sale..
2... would it be wise to buy an engine instead?? thats a major operation for big money.. but would it be the best option... i really can't afford this... but i dont want to experience this again..
thx -mikey

yeah the block probably didn't do that to itself...chances are there are pieces of rod laying around in that hole too. Get a new short(or maybe long!) block, or put a lower mileage used one in.
