my roomie had a 98 SS 6 speed. he downshifted from 3rd to 2nd and blew it up. but he was haulin a** in 3rd. the push rods looked more like curved rods. where the pushrod goes thru the head was elongated (looked oval insted of round). and it was brand new. maybe 5,000 miles on it. he then got a 97 T/A and we tried to do everything possible to blow the motor (still under warranty) and couldnt do it. i feel sorry for whoever has that car now.
