It wouldn't be Roadkill if it wasn't for a little carnage, and the Rotsun has been a perfect source of it. We've lost count of the number of times that it has failed hard in an episode, but Mike Finnegan won't let it go.

The last time Rotsun hit the streets, it was in episode 42 of Roadkill, where David Freiburger, Tony Angelo, and Finnegan ran the heroic 24 Laps of LeMons, during the 24 Hours of LeMons at Button Willow Raceway. Naturally, Roadkill's preparation time was a little short for the challenge ahead, but Rotsun team set a 24-lap bar, and stumbled right over it. Success!

24 Hours of LeMons is an endurance race for crap-cans and beaters; the purchase price of your car, along with any of its non-essential performance upgrades, "must" be under $500. There might be a little cheating and bribery involved, but who's going to tell the authorities? Brakes, tires, and other safety-related equipment are budget-free. Roadkill is now the presenting sponsor of the 24 Hours of LeMons.

Unfortunately, those 24 laps totaled another engine, and Freiburger and Finnegan have finally decided to look into the seized 4.3L Vortec V6. Unsurprisingly, the split-pin crankshaft journal sheered, and separated cylinder six from the rest of the crankshaft.

Its gnarly, both Freiburger and Finnegan were quite impressed with the carnage but Finnegan is still not convinced that the 4.3L V6 is the wrong idea And there's an all-aluminum ex-Busch Series 4.3L V6 sitting on the shelf.
