Damn. I dunno if oil on the header would have started that kind of fire without some tell tale smoking and burning smell beforehand. Fuel leak maybe? I always roll with a mini fire extinguisher since I drive Aircooled VWs, and they are prone to engine fires.

Thats horrible man.. Really sad to see that but I guess its nice to have a newer truck too just not the way to see one go..

Good luck with the new project.

P.S. Is that a yellow top optima?

man, that really sucks. good luck with the new project. it is possible for the manifold to catch the oil on fire and start a blaze. i know from first hand experience. i guess thats what i got for driving a tempo.


^^^ thats exactly what i was thinking
