Glen's budget rebuild

[Rocksurfer]

 Castoroil nutin' better, oh and.............................

[79coyotefrg]

i always ran castrol  but went to the cheapo stuff because of my situation now,    wish i hadnt learned that lesson quite so well

oh yea today it blew the head gasket   and #3 is dead so i figure the piston came apart

 

[FATB0Y]

Sorry to hear dat glen. I used Castrol for years and recently changed over to Mobil1 Full Synthetic and K&N Oil Filter

[BUBBA]

Ouch,man that sucks.Sorry to hear about that.

[79coyotefrg]

anybody ever seen a grown man

[BUBBA]

anybody ever seen a grown man

I know how you feel glen.

[79coyotefrg]

thanks bubba    if only i could have made it down to see Kris in the truck,   those old antique planes would have made awesome backgrounds for my truck

old B-17, C147, Kris  you might have ta help on those names    what was that one big fat sucker with wheels under each corner like a car,  but with like training wheels under the ends of the wings 



oooohh   and the SR-71   OMFG   can you imagine traveling at 2000 mph

[Kris]

The one with the car tires and little tires on the wings is a B-52.

the REALLY OLD plane, it was over there by the SR71,  ??
silver body, 1 big tire at each corner of the main body with a landing gear on the end of each wing

it kinda reminded me  of ME  with wings 






ok ok,  tomorrow if i feel completely better the tear down begins  to see just what happened, 

[79coyotefrg]

well head gasket blew,  big surprise,  the top ring land of #3 broke , apparently there was some scuffing of the cylinder where the piston tried to seeze in the cylinder because of lack of oil

  or lack of quality oil

somebody Me

theres a boogered place in the cylinder,  i'll hone it tomorrow and check it , OH PLEASE GOD DONT LET THE BLOCK BE CRACKED

[Willy Mammoth]

Wow What are you doing to that poor truck?   JK

Man that sucks, hope you can fix it without having to go through the whole engine again, but maybe that would be better so you don't have to go in it again later.

Oh and BTW  

[79coyotefrg]

me too

[79coyotefrg]

dont have a digi  so i cant post a pic of the piston  but i flattened  a main and rod bearing so you could see the result,

  it was bad OIL    geeze believe me ive been down the stupid road,  go back to page 1 i think

[79coyotefrg]

oops sorry jim,  ok  this thread doesnt cover what happened to the original 20R

i was traveling along in a huge gravel pit near LittleRock arkansas,  going down this trail under some big powerlines,  it had been raining so the entire trail had about a foot of water on it,  im zippin along cleaning the undercarrage   when the ground  disappeared my bumper was impaled into the mud on the other side of this big tanktrap some had dug with a backhoe   so here i was in the biggest mud hole ever,  the end of my hood was in the water, engine dead,  i restart and try to back out, yea right

it dies so i get out and start chunking big rocks into the hole,  btw  when i opened the driver door and started to step out i realized there was no mud under my foot,  DEEP
so i went out the pass side,  anyway after several hours i was pulled out by a buddy with a road grader     engine wa sfull of mud by then,  changed the oil and drove home,  when i pulled the head off there was burnt mud on top of the pistons 


so that was driving down the moron road

I went wheelin' with a buddy that had a Dodge D 50 SB w/ 33 swamperz and he tried to follow in the footsteps of the "Blue Mule" (Late 60's Dodge w/44's and 440 hemi) anyway he drove off in a hole and the mud and water went over the hood and up to the windshield. what a Dumb a$s

[79coyotefrg]

when i had my sammy  i went everywhere, mudand water would run up over the hood and it never missed a beat,  even ran thru a river one time with the headlights shining under the water,  the intake was routed thru the fender and up into the body like a snorkel,  i loved the little guy,

i was 20 years old,   working at Dominoes Pizza , clutch had gone out so i was using my dads bronco  to deliver in till i got my sammy back from having the clutch replaced  ,   so this particular day i had just got the sammy back and was driving all over town, then went to pick sis up from work

well she wanted to drive the last 4 miles, 10 miles from town first 6  interstate,  so i let her drive we get into out little town of which had a heavy traveled 2 lane and a railroad track running parralel *
anyway  she got the brake confused with the gas   well the RR had a big pile of gravel they had dumped next to the track at the crossing where we had to turn across the track onto our road,  she started turning  but hit the gas instead of the brake , hit the gravel pile at about 50 sending us thru the air landing between the second and third set of rails ,   i was just hitting the starter button on the tractor, out of breath from running home, when i heard the train horn
