probably choked the air intake

I was being sarcastic but it obviosusly went over the head of some of you. I meant did a V8 blow off the rocker cover. Ha ha. :angel:

I got it but felt bad having to point it out. :angel:

Turned out to be a dropped piston

Here we go again ! WTF is a "Dropped" Piston .
Where was it dropped ,who dropped it ?How does dropping it "Blow the rocker cover off"
Emotive explanations of a Observed symptoms(dropped,Blown,stuffed etc ) are useless, try to find the root cause or even a simple Event sequence .(Chicken or the egg!!!)

Pist'n broke, probably.:cool:

bee utey

geez the different expression it appears you westerners use.;)


Here's one,
some one dropped one.
Do you then say, emitted methane,
or someone flatuated,
He farted,
he passed wind,
horse and carted,
or did he anabatic ( warm dense air that rises)
