"You do not want a flame to enter the oil pan area and light off the oil vapors."

In college my best friend back home had an L-88 67 Vette. He had over heated it and had burned a small hole in a piston unknown to him.I came home one weekend and we were going to take it out to "cruise" Forest Lane in Dallas. Blew the valve cover on one side off the bolts!
