my motor wont party (13th May 08 at 2:12pm UTC)
So I moved my rig out of the driveway yesterday, it ran for like 2 min. then I went to restart it about 20 min later and the motor seized as the starter was trying to crank it over (it never fired). 1.I thought the oil pick up fell of and was jammed between the crank and the pan, it would spin in reverse, just not forward 2.pulled the pan, everything looks OK, no spun bearings.. etc 3.pulled the 3 easily accessible plugs and then crank it back and forward by hand 4.water comes out passenger exhaust 5.keep cranking and water comes out drivers side bank in to the crank case so I think it could either be a cracked block, cracked intake, or both head gaskets happen to blow on a cold motor at the exact same time and hydro lock my motor, well maybe it could be both intake gaskets blew the same time also… regardless im going to start to pull down the top end tonight, let me know if u have any ideas, it a 95 LT1

Thanx Phil… I was thinking about it though, and if the head gasket blew it is possible that 1. the water was running out the left exhaust, and 2. the water is running in the valley of the motor to the right bank. So I guess it is possible that only on head gasket blew, which makes a whole lot more sense. I guess ill find out soon.. id be pissed if we missed memorial weekend

ouch... im not going to complain about $150 for gaskets then, i think that this crap only happens to people that work on stuff, it never seem to happen to the asians at my work that cant screw in a light bulb
