have some great insurance on it, Hagerty Classic Insurance, so far they have been good to me.
Had the motor out and the case split, heads and crank were out and in the house, but the cam,bearings and lifters were open to the smoke and water so there paying for them and my new paint job.

Glad to hear you are actually getting paid by your insurance company without a fight!

Do you have a miles/year restriction on your policy? I checked around and could only find State Farm at ~$1000/year w/o mileage limit.

Maybe since you're in CT vs NY things are different.

Good News, Turbo DonC

bad2bug, sorry to hear that man... anyway, did you say that you split the case??? well my question is, how are the exhaust guides that are exposed to the ports doing? are they still intact? any signs of wear???

thanks

Just took a good look at the all four EX. guides.
Marty was right, they are not there anymore and I'm not sure if they where before, but they look like they never were that?s how smooth they look. In the berg book it says that they stream line the Ex.guide so I don?t know.
Good news is it did not hurt the turbo if they did self-destruct.
