Well my luck cought up with me again today. Headed out to go to Pats. I got about half way there when I threw a rod. When that happend I think it punctured the oil pan. All in all I probably need a new motor. So right now my toy collecting has come to a screatching halt. Right now I am staying with Pat so I can get around this weekend to try get some things sorted ou. So I will not be on MSN this weekend. Sorry guys. Pat said if need be I can jump on here so there may be a posibility of me being on.

Hopefully it will get better. I am getting under the car in a couple hours to see what the damage is. Hopefull I just had a main come loose and punctur the pan and not scar the cylyner wall. Now is one of those time where my experince comes in handy, but with that I also know the worst case senerio and how much it would be to fix it.
