GR8racingfool,

The reason the fire was worse in the back was due to the fuel lines melting and spraying the firewall and such. I bought one of these burn cars about 6 months ago. Once the fuel line melted, all hell broke loose. looks like the owner of that Regal ran once they saw the flames. Mine was not quite so bad.

In all honesty, there is some slight oil build up on the front head, but I have seen much-much worse on a L76 that never has ever caught fire. I guess this was the "1 in 1000" that caught fire. But what gets me...is the hood damage...If the fire was up front...wouldn't more of the front of the car be damaged...rather than the back side of the engine area? Hummmmm.........

It doesn't affect 04-05 Impalas/Montes with the L67 either. Note how it doesn't affect any Series III engines either. The Series II engines (L67 and L36) from 04 and 05 are more Series III than they are Series II. They received the same updated gasket design that went in to the Series III engines.

A 04/05 Series II has Series III block, bottom end, heads, LIM, and valve train. It has Series II UIM/SC, TB, fuel rail, and electronics. That's why we refer to them as hybrids. The GP community isn't too familiar with them, but other cars that still used Series II engines in 04 and 05 love the hybrids since it's the best of both worlds.
