Well, I wasn't able to get with "The Guy" at the shop today due to it being a holiday weekend and all. Same story at Corey Henderson's shop down in New Braunfels. So I'm going to have to try and exercise a little patience. The tech I talked to at Corvettes of Dallas (now Corvette World as of a couple weeks ago) says he's never broken down an LT5. He's never heard of one blowing a gasket like this. (Perfect... leave it to me).

He did mention that in order to get at the heads and pull the thing apart it could be necessary to pull the engine out of the car. That doesn't sound like any bit of fun. It sounds like a whole lot of money. Anybody have any words for me? I'm starting to get a little scared. A $10k engine rebuild is not within my realm of possibilities.
