Well the exedy looks great the company should use this for an ad campaign--the hole is fairly close to the heat of the headers and I have found that only liquid nail will take the heat and hold up for any time on a hole that size---

Clearly a turbo application with the oil lines heading forward. Cera?
It still has 6 cylinders to run on right. Duct tape the hole to buy him some time.

Oh hell, blame it on the wife. She must have weakened it the last time she drove it.

Some JB Weld and your back on the road

Chris,

Duct tape and Super Glue. Much better solution.
I actually had a crack in my manifold on my 68 Mustang back when I was in high school... Wouldnt drive for crap... Some hubba bubba and 10 minutes to cool off, and it was good...

Lets see blew up cylinders 7&8. My guess is an oil pump failure. I think those would be the bearings that lost pressure first.

My guess is that's Mean Green's twin turbo (know any other twin turbo/exedy twin guys on the board?). Probably leaned out #7 (which is always the leanest cylinder) and blew a piston, which caused everything else to blow up.
