Visuals of the thorn that was once in my side..
-
looks about right.
be happy. you pretty much replaced the weakest link in the entire engine. everything else is gravy :icon_smile:
-
You were damned lucky
-
Yeah thats what the mechanic said. Weakest link in the engine eh? Lol. Im excited now.
-
WOW...that's worn. Where's all the missing pieces?
-
Of the gear? They were in my oil pan. I still have the small gear(for the cam?) and the chain. Its a wonder how this didnt mess up while driving.
-
Wonder how the bearings survived?
Guess he didin't pull a cap and have a look see while the oil pan was removed?
How's your oil pressure?
-
Reminds me of when I drove home from the track with this!! :O
-
no reason for the bearings to be bad unless the pick up screen was completely blocked and the engine was oil starved...give n his driving habits, I suspect he has no problem there...don't think he has an oil pressure gauge

Hahaha. It's as if you've been in my car before. I don't have an oil pressure gauge. Hope all is well with the bearings tho. :)

You made it home with that????????

Almost 2 hour drive & when I tried to start it again (after I got home) it was the LOUDEST BACKFIRE I ever heard!! I was in the underground garage 2nd floor & it sounded like a Shotgun going off! :O
I knew something was really messed up. Later when the crossover came off it was Full of Gas!!
