Speaking from personal experience, getting up from sliding the hoist arms under the car is bloody murder...So I'd happily pay some other younger bugger to do that part of my job...Isn't that why you bought a hoist for?
Or was that so you could pay the mobile mechanic to come to your place, use your tools & hoist & power, then you end up doing the work, then he gives you the bill?
Is that correct?
When I read the OP my thoughts were that the seller wasn’t quite telling the full story of how that mysterious hole appeared in the block, and what they were doing at the time. But I can’t help wondering, as @Smitty has experienced, just how many rpm was it doing at that time, and where did this mysterious activity take place. Hard to believe it would have just happened while the car was parked in the seller’s driveway.
Was that @Dart77 ? or somebody else?I remember a thread on here a while back, where a member alledgely started their car and ended up with a hole in the block

I remember a thread on here a while back, where a member alledgely started their car and ended up with a hole in the block, with their LS3....
Memory serves me right, got a roasting for suggesting it couldn't have happened by just starting the car as others were certain it was a warranty issue.
So maybe this is a similar one, where it has just happened by starting the car
And did they then sell it to someone else with ‘a bit of an engine tick’?
