post icon Chevy K-10 Oil Pan Explosion Sign In

Info :
1986 Chevy
K10
350 V8
260k Miles


I was underneath my 86 Chevy K-10 and was pulling the starter out to see why it was not starting, then i came across this, I never bothered to check in the past I just figured that all old chevy's leaked some oil here and there. but can someone tell me by these 2 picture what exactly happened? or a guess would be nice, it seems to have erupted from the inside because the metal is bent outward and not inwards like if something where to have punctured it....

I guess you had the radio too loud. Your engine threw a rod and it's junk now.

Maybe the reason your replacing the starter is because of what flew out of the oil pan. Looks like it is time for another engine or to junk the truck.

Haha, thanks for the comical relief.

Any experience/advice on the best way to get the most money out of this thing for scrapping it then? Metal scrap yard? Salvage yard? Craigslist? Otherwise its just going to sit off to the side of my driveway for a long time. All i know is im taking the tires and rims off that thing, they where 800$ Mudders and only have about 3k worth of miles on them.

Call around and get prices. Craigslist is full of scrap guys trying to buy. If it's got a title, you should be able to get $300 to $400 for scrap.

Depending on what the rest of the running gear & body looks like......Try to part out what you can & then sell what's left for scrap...
