Re: I lifted the hood on the Blazer . . .

Just got off the phone with the engine guy - he said a rod was crumbled up a bit and did a little cylinder wall damage but should clean right up. He said it didn't look like the motor had been bored out before so that is great news. Most interesting, he said the oil gushing was due to the oil filter gasket getting pinched and folding up a little. That is interesting cause someone mentioned that in the past and when it gushed the first time, a few days later I pulled the oil filter to see if maybe an old gasket had stuck to the block, put the filter back on and it did the same thing.

Gave him the okay to get the motor in the machine shop for a 0.020 over bore to see if it cleans up of if they need to bore it out more. He should have it back from the machine shop in about 1 1/2 weeks and then he will be right on top of getting it put back together. Can't beat that!!!!! Vroooooom time before too long I hope!
