A slipped liner would cause cooling water to go into the cylinders (water injection), don;t think it'd happen on a windsor though, they don;t seem to have the failure rate of a rover motor

Yep, that.

I always thought the slipped liner was to make a ticking noise like an out of adjustment valve so that the mechanic that you take it to who provides you a written quote for $200 to sort out the tick winds up having to replace the block.

Dave, expect the horse's head in bed. You've just blown the cover of greasers everywhere.

dont see how you work that one out....

the mechanic that wrote the quote for "Rectify ticking noise $200" was less than impressed when the legalese people pointed out that he quoted it and he was going to do it.

$200 for a valve adjustment is exxy.
$200 for replacing an engine block is cheap, very, very cheap.

the sheer joy of forcing a rip off merchant into doing a good job was priceless.

Sorry, read it too quickly...

That story is gold though!
