yup...thats what my present situation is, and it can't really improve in any way. After changing the injector which i was under the impression was leaking, i then bolted up the cats and fired up my SS. The starter engaged and then boom!bang, clank, clank. I shut it off basically as it shut itself down and i heard a metal clank onto the driveway under the car, i thought it was a piece of the headers blown apart, but...the sad reality is that the metal that hit the ground was a 5 inch section of the front corner of my oil pan, a pan that is now missing the front 1/3 of the bottom, cracked the front engine cover, and the number 1 rod snapped in half causing it all, i guess thats why number 1 cylinder was hjaving issues and threw the misfire code....yea...so im not in the greatest of moods now. I did plan on building a new motor over the winter, but now that time frame got moved up by about 6 months, somethign i honestly didnt plan on. I'm gonna try to get my lift installed so I can pull the motor here at home, otherwise ill pull it and my neighbors workshop on his lift and put a temp k member in to make it a rolling chassis. oh boy...funf fun fun.... :?
