I'm about 99% sure my buddy just acquired one. Jiffy lube poured oil into valve cover and reverse hydro locked motor. Pm your number and I'll have him give you a call

There's gotta be one of these lying around in the corner of someone's garage!

Why would putting oil in the valve cover lock an engine up? Are you saying he poured way too much oil into the engine? Simply putting oil in that way wouldn't do anything .?

All these reports of dropped valves and windowed blocks you'd think there'd be one out here

Turns out it's not as common as you would think. I had my heads checked out and perfectly fine. 2008 engine.

There is a bare block on eBay right now

I'm about to have my LS7 pulled. Has a hole in the passenger side of the block. Heads and cam might be salvageable too (MTI heads and cam)
