Yeah, I was gonna make a post on the other forum about blowing my second LSJ, but I hadn't gotten around to it yet... Grandma was in the hospital gravely ill and getting a transfer, and I was trying my damnedest to get there to see her before she was moved out... A long overtake had me turning 7k in 3rd, and when I grabbed 4th, it coughed out a huge cloud of smoke and gained a dead misfire, the code pointed to cyl 4... My mechanic offered the option of installing a known good piston and fresh rings in just that cylinder, but I figure that it'll just fail again and while L61s and LE5s are plentiful and cheap, LSJs are not...
