Blown up B20F 1800 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Wed May 29 17:16 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Steady state cruising at 90mph should be no problem for that engine.

You said that there was a puddle of oil under the car the day after returning from your trip, but nothing about how the car ran at that time. Did you try to start it, or did you immediately have it towed to the shop? If the latter, then I'm afraid that your "mechanic" is trying to make a few boat payments at your expense. A "big puddle of oil" is indicative of a blown rear main seal, not a blown engine.
