    dog jail, replete with dog "DOH" face. Doesn't look like room for two from here. Just sayin...

      The random bloodhound looks thrilled. But how can you tell? I want to rub his ears and tell him it'll be OK.

        she... and has any of you watched Shaggy DA? the bloodhound bit where he sings "swing low" - yeah, that.

        That said, I'm not sure her day planner had "test new doggie box" on the agenda.

          Just curious........what exactly does a BloodHound's happy face look like? Same only with panting tongue hanging out?

          Example: Happy face.



          Example: You caught-me-in-the-act face.

            I'll have to video this, but it requires manual manipulation....

                Dogs... Can be so aggravating yet so comforting.. Have always had dogs, just good ones in the last 35-40 years..
                Some better than others.. All weaseled themselves into my heart..

                  with the bloodhounds' loose skin, I get my wife laughing pretty good when I pull back on their head-skin and say "happy bloodhound" and then push the skin forward "mad bloodhound"
                  as her face was down, that's mad bloodhound

                      well dammit

                      good news is the thing ran great - it appears the O2 sensor was the problem

                      bad news

                      the motor seized. no oil on the outside, no hydro lock... simply stopped running while at idle.... my guess is the oil pickup fell off...

                      sigh

                        Damn cheapa$$ Chevrolets. Never had that happen to a Ford or MOPAR or Mercedes (yet).

                        But seriously - sorry for the bad luck. Hope it resolves well, like maybe with a BBB.

                          Dan,,, Mutt is listening... on the plus side, cheapa$$ Chevrolets are inexpensive to repair... have had a hex drive key for a Ford oil pump fall off while installing... Mopar ignitions have given me fits...to each his own...as far as the facial expressions of a dog go... Lugnut has more than we've seen in all of our other dogs we have ever had combined...one thing's for sure though, motor be damned, the dog will make you feel better about it!

                            well to be honest, Dan, I've never had it happen to a Mercedes, Ford, Mopar, Ferrari, Citroen, or even to Datsun. Of course, I haven't ever owned one of those - but I'm still batting 1000 on all of those (and many more)

                              so I pulled the pan, and number 1 and 2 were toast
                              then I pulled this


                              and it's missing the washers on the bypass.... which explains everything I saw up to the failure. I'd been having trouble with (I thought) the dakota digital dash - it would show oil pressure for a bit, then it'd dive and say there was no oil pressure. That simply didn't make sense because I'd never hear the lifters rattling - I may have heard that today.... but too late.

                              to be continued..... I'm thinking simply buying a replacement, Tahoe short block... however, I may build another 350 or 383.... dunno yet
