I was driving down the highwat at about 70 and all of a sudden I smell burning oil and the car boggs and dies. I pull over open the hood and there's a hole in the front of the drivers side valve cover the size of my fist!! looks like a cam gear broke and the chain snapped and broke a hole in the vc. The motor is locked up and i'm assuming I broke some valves and a piston or two.
This motor is fully built and has about 3k miles on it. I put over $10k into this motor last summer and now this??!! These motors are sooo expensive to fix!! I had it towed to the builder he said he'll have it apart the middle of the week, I'm praying the bottom end and heads are ok then it wont be so bad ..I'll think of it as a cam upgrade!..wishful thinking.
Has anyone heard of this happening? The builder said he has done hundreds of mod motors and never seen or heard of this. My luck I guess.
