Watching an import tow a domestic, that is perverse. I'm going to go wash out my eyes now..

Better hope the ricer forums don't get a hold of this...

lol look you can PM me if it's embarrassing, I'm seriously interested in how it happened. Most stock LS1's can handle a lot even with 100k on them. Normally it's driver error, but the fact that you're an auto is throwing a wrench all up in that theory. Unless you're spraying the house down this is most unusual.

I have never heard of so many spun rod bearing in any other motor besides the LS1s. What causes this?
