ell Long story short I spun a bearing in my 3800 firebird.
It was raining, and I decided screw it, I'm going to go drifting in the firebird because I cant really hurt it anymore !
So I was doing some decent drifts, and then it shut off. I fugred it was siezed finally right ?
Wrong ! Turned it back on, only now it shook violently and was leaving a trail of oil behind me.
Awesome !
So finally it's at the shop and behold ! A hole in the side of the block about the size of my fist. The rod was GONE. GONE ! Tore the oil pickup off, main bolt was in the pan, along with some unrecognizable chunks of rod. Funny thing is, it was still running, I had to move it in and out of the driveway a couple times over the past month.
