[DeTomaso] BBORR engine failure

[Will Kooiman]

LOL...  I needed that one.

I was thinking maybe you pushed the cam plug out the back.

I don't think you knocked out the threaded plugs.  Highly unlikely.

The cam plug, however, could explain a loss of oil pressure without dumping
all of the oil out of your engine.  There are only 3 ways I can think of
getting oil into your bell housing - cam plug, oil gallery plugs, or rear
main.  The rear main wouldn't cause loss of oil pressure, the oil gallery
plugs would empty a lot more than 1/2 quart, the cam plug could come out,
though, especially if you burnt a piston and pressurized your crankcase.

Did you check the oil to see if it was Chevy oil?  You might have sucked up
oil debris from that Corvette you were following.

I'm now firmly convinced a blown tire caused the engine failure.
