Give it a week or two, and i might be posting in this thread as the noises that are coming from the panda engine make it sound like a catastrophic failure is about to happen

I seem to remember someone on here trying to cause this by shoving mud stones etc into the Oil filler cap LOL.

Just found this on a couple of US websites... "Take a stock Buick 455 block, add a supercharger plus some other goodies, and get a 10-second heavyweight street car. Only problem is that the stock Buick 455 block is a thin-wall casting, so 600+hp is pushing your luck. What's really unusual here is that it's almost unheard-of for a Buick crank to let go like that" A couple of pics... Under the hood: Oil pan: Front of block torn out: Carnage inside: 3-piece Crank: Original thread…. www.bpgforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7182D
