    Another disaster

    Well, I suppose this goes along the line of another F-Body problem. Recently my Dad and one of his friends that owns a machine shop over here started working on a 468 for his 67 Camaro that he drag races. Went to put it on the dyno (engine dyno) got everything hooked up, guy running the dyno started circulating water through the motor and just like that water and oil start spraying out the dipstick tube The shortblock has been put together for a few years so he doesnt know what to do. Needless to say hes pretty pissed/depressed.

              That sucks man. Never a good thing to let an engine or something of that nature to sit around that long. If you have problems the warranty is generally up.
