This car was one of the 10% it seems. #2 decided to let go! Greedy thing never even gave #1 a chance! It even took all the glory for the cracked block and aerated oil pan......

I don't see anything wrong with that oil pan! Of course the contents seem to be in the wrong locations. That was the problem, there were just too many parts in there.

what, you don't have a welder to put all that back where it came from?

Pffft... that's got nothing on the pan from my '72 Spitfire. It had a hole and everything!

You think that's impressive? Check out MY spare parts collection

This came from the original engine in my 80, block of course had the hole with matching hole in the aluminum pan, #1 let go.

You might want to check for blow-by.

Cool! Your collection is WAY more impressive! I dig the way the piston (was that the piston?!?) turned into a pile of corn flakes! Heck, the oil pump in mine was untouched and the thing still ran (not that it is worth anything).
