Well, there’s your problem — you’ve got a snake in the engine.
A group of Florida mechanics received a fright when they discovered an 8-foot-long albino boa constrictor lodged in the engine of a Ford Focus on Tuesday.

That’s when Russell Cavender — known as the “Snake Chaser” — arrived and jammed his hands into the car to safely dislodge the snake, which appeared to have gotten stuck in the car’s mechanisms.

That’s going to have to be completely replaced with another boa. Also going to need new gaskets and a Johnson rod. You’re going to have to leave this overnight.

This happened when I lived in Subic Bay as a kid-they found this wrapped around the axle of one of the fire trucks at NAS Cubi Point...:)

Oh... and the manufacturer is out of stock on that model of Boa... gonna be at least a 6-8 week delay while we wait for a replacement.
To: gundog
Surprised it did die due to the engine heat.
