Default When I break something, I break it good!

Pulled the the heads off yesterday to see what the problem was. Much to my supprise, the head gasket looked great. But look at what I did find in the #6 cylinder:












I did not see any signs of detonation in any of the other 7 cylinders so I am guessing the rod just couldn't take it any more, broke then slung the piston into the wall punching a hole in it. It did it's duty with 120K hard miles though so I am not complaining.

Damn Kennny. Looks like someone dropped a grenade in # 7. I guess you won't be using that block.

That's what too much "NNNNAAAAAWWWWZZZZZ" will do for you. What tranny are you going to put behind the new engine. Please don't tell me a stock 4l60e. That makes my stomach turn thinking about those POS trannies.
