Damn, I know that smell. The little rat bastids got into the flats boat a while back. Chewed some non-vital wiring but chewed a hole or three in the stowed away bimini. Those f-ers had to die.. Rat turds a-plenty. Earlier that day one of my ex-employees managed to toast the stock engine in my 1989 GMC Sierra. I lent him the truck out of the kindness of my heart. So he re-paid me in kind. The official story, He was just cruising around when all of the sudden it threw a rod, broke the cam in three and chunked the rear cam journal out the back of the block and into the flex plate wiping out the transmission too. I was at the end of my rope. Refusing to be whipped, I overcame with a few thousand more of the$e..and a friend who lent me his truck so I could get the flats boat to the boat wash facility. LOL Lemonade anyone? BTW- On teardown, the SBC had broken a hydraulic lifter, at 6000 rpm no doubt. Starved the back of the block for oil, spun a bearing and voila destroyed in seconds. I never believed his BS story and he was subsequently fired. Best move I ever made.
