My /6-obituary

[Badvert65]

Well, my slant 6 racing days are over before they even began. It is with heavy heart that I announce the death of the slant six in my 65 Belvedere, affectionately known as ‘Dragon’. A broken oil sensor wire and a leaking valve cover deprived it of enough oil to lose at least three rods and ruin the crank in the process. I’ll save all the ‘good stuff’ and probably build a ‘Dragon II’ someday. Rest assured, the Belvedere will be back, but this time with a healthy B engine.
Sigh…

It's a slant, you can't kill it! Throw some oil in it and drive it another 20k.

Lol, exactly!

"Only 3 rods? It's still got 3 left for crying out loud!"

Well, it aint zactly dead. More like a zombie now. It sputters, and groans, makes other unusual noises and just crawls along.
