My first car. I blew up it's 318 engine six times. 5 different blocks, 7 sets of heads. I've broken this car so many times, it's spent more time sitting than driving in my ownership. Now, I'm repurposing it to see if that makes me want to work on it again.

After leaving the engine on the stand after the last video, I suddenly got an idea. Maybe the engine will free up with a little heat? So I set to it!

Then put the torch to the water jackets in the block, a little diesel/ATF mix in the bores and a load of sledgehammering.")
