I ended up having Bill Littleton come and get it today. He is going to pull the motor and send it to Eric at Performance Engineering in Ross, Ohio. I will keep you posted about how bad the damages are. Thanks for everybodies thoughts and concerns. The really good news it is only money. It is not like cancer or some other catastrophic illness in the family. Chas

Yep, that's the truth of the matter. You could look at it as kind of like a lucky opportunity to tweak up the ol' engine and get it in really nice shape. It's almost a good thing... almost.

Bet you wouldn't say that if it was yours.

My condolences to Chas.
