Im assuming it was rods you can see a couple of holes in the block on the third pic. Can anything else do that?

Ya, anything metal going through a running cyl could bust a hole in a cast block, a broke piston could do it.

I just wanted to know if he knew the origin of the failure, but if an end cap broke on a rod, most likely thats what started it.

Like with Bill's block and the hydro lock, thats the origin.

Best keep an eye on that chevy. Not all slow chevy trucks stay running. :roll:

Why is yours down now?

The little 2.8 just couldn't take it anymore. I am not sure what is broke yet but it ain't right. :? I will have the motor out this week to see what is wrong. Now to look for that 350. :lol: Anyone have an LS1 they don't need? :cool:
