oil pan

honest Ron, it was there.

no rod poking thru.  just a hole.  my curiosity is getting to me.  I may have to drop the pan for a look see before I pull the engine.

it's back.  try again

If your dip stick is on the left I have three restored small block OEM Corvette oil pans with PS for sale after you rebuild the motor.

I'm pulling the engine no matter what the damage is.  time to do the mods I want to do.

thanks anips. I have a chrome oil pan.  bought it before I should have.  I'll give you a call when I find out if what I have or don't have.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on this one! There is some major damage there. If it overheated, then scattered, you most likely seized a rod, and it sheared a rod bolt off. The very least would be a crank, and a rod, to replace. I'll bet there's going to be some cyl. wall damage, also, depending on how hot, and how long it was hot, before she blew.
Now would be the time to bump it up!

That looks like it's from the inside out.  It's going to be ugly inside.

here's a pic of the other side of the pan.  not for the faint of heart

Looks like to me the crank sheared.  You are probably in the market for a new short block.

OOOPS!!!
Hank, I be cryin' for ya!!
It's time to shop for a crater!
Don't imagine you'll find any good news upon disassembly on that one.
