I thought you were going to describe what happened to me the first year I had my V20. I have an I/O and having not been familiar with them,didn't winterize it correctly :o. My neighbor and I went to winterize it in Jan. I started it up and Ovaltine shot up about a foot in the center of the engine!

As it turned out,the block had a footlong crack in it,and the rockers had completely separated from the head.

On the way home from work,my neighbor showed me an auto rag with a Chevy straight 6 250 for sale. By the next weekend I had it up and running again.

Paid $650 for the boat and trailer,around $300 to fix the block,and I was back in buisness.
