Owning an old car is exciting ;)
Last night it was beautiful out, So I was taking the Charger to the local hangout. I was playing around and driving on the highway when the car started to sputter and make some awful noises.
I was near an Exit with a Mobil station to I started to drive up the ramp and the car because extremely sluggish. Now I'm worried.
I pulled into a lite bay and saw some smoke comming from under the hood. upon inspection it didn't look like anything was out of place. I checked the oil level and it was fine. The car wasn't overheated and the oil pressure never dropped, so I was confused. I started the car again and it cranked real hard then finnially started. It sounded like I had a bag of marbles in the top end. I shut it right off. I called AAA and had the old girl towed home.
When I got home the fist thing I did was pulled the valve covers. and found the problem right away.
The rear most pedestal that holds the rocker bar broke on the passanger side. the added pressure of my.... ummm, test of speed ripped the other bolts upward stripping the rest. A few rockets were inverted and a few push rods were laying in the valley. No valves where jammed open so the bottom end is fine. I guess I got lucky.
So basically. I need new heads for the car. and I'm a little broke right now. So I think Ol Mary is out of commission for the rest of the year. It was a good run though
BTW: I blew the doors of the other car running on 6 cylinders :rofl:
and now comes the smart ass comments
