lifter collapsed, engine is gone
Just got the call. Lifter collapsed and got stuck in the bore hole (my ignorance is showing, I have no idea what that is). Several valves are bent, pistons are nicked, timing chain is shot, cam is suspect AND the block is gone
So, looks like a new short block for my C6.

Something is wrong with this picture, I just can't see how a collapsed lifter doing all that damage, I gould get a second opinion. A colapse lifter? valves bent? timing chain gone. I can understand the damage from over reving, but not from a collapsed lifter, or maybe it was explained wrong.
