Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!!

As discovered today when the guy doing my customs clearance called to ask me come to Manchester airport to take a look at the "damage" to my engine.

It alledgedly feel from a forklift (don't know how far it fell) and hit the ground upside down. The thick wooden crate broke into pieces and the bits that took the impact were the lifting bracket attached to the inlet manifold, the dizy cap is smashed to bits and one of the valve covers has been slightly squashed towards the rear. All the rest seems fine.

The guy that is handling my customs clearance reckons he can claim the repair bill from the freight company/airport handlers.

I was having a good day until then Calmed down a lot now

I'll
