[runr-meech]

no problem T, thanks anyway! hopfully i can pic up Heath's this week.

[runr-meech]

  somthing is not right with my new engine, so i have to take it out and take it back. at least Putney said he whould fix it for free or help me out if it was totally my fault. But i still have to take it out and drive it down to chico.

[Thomas P]

how  sorry to hear

[twistedtoy92]

whats the problem?

[Dingman.]

Last i heard it sounded like an oil pickup problem

[twistedtoy92]

oh man........ whats the verdict?

[runr-meech]

as far as i can tell , it was a bad new oil pump or pickup tube sucking air.either way it sucks! live and learn. ooch!

[runr-meech]

Looks like UPS will be fixxin up the wifes rig. Flipped a pregnant dog right into my 3 year old daughter! VERY glad he didnt hurt her or any one else.

[twistedtoy92]

WTH?

[Thomas P]

Dayumm Meetch, what are you gonna wheel now?

[P-DiseToy24]

Well at least it was UPS buncha dumb dumbs haha... Guy backed into a 63 c-10 I used to drive ended up getting almost triple what I paid for it.

[Thomas P]

That dude has no job now..... You get in an accident and youre gone

[codyps85]

Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. At least it was UPS and wasn't a hit and run. Those are a dime a dozen out her in AZ.

[83yota5960]

thats a bummer about the motor have you sent it back out to them yet.

[runr-meech]

motor goes back to putney on monday after turkey day. he said he whould have it right back to me, hope thats the case.

[83yota5960]

ya its looking like my motor might blow before you get yours back. im thinking about having putney rebuild it to, just need the funds

[runr-meech]

go and talk to him , let him know your local and i bet he sets you up. Putney is a VERY cool dude.good luck Matt.

[runr-meech]

same old story, need a cherry picker. engine is ready to come out . i think im going to just buy my own! then i'll use it once and never need it again.haha

[runr-meech]

Woodman where is that exauhst?

[jimbo74]

same old story, need a cherry picker. engine is ready to come out . i think im going to just buy my own! then i'll use it once and never need it again.haha

jsut go buy one, use it, and sell it on craigslist

[runr-meech]

Im just mad at myself , because there was a nice one on CL last week . i waited till 10am to call and someone else called at 9 and bought it. I'll get one!

[runr-meech]

i had to  go through my engine one more time before i took it back to Putney. Kind of glad i did,it still has an oil light and i have checked the pickup tube, new gasket,bolts all tight. So i know thats not the problem. Oil pump is a brand new Aisin, not junk, so why whould there be no oil pressure? Trying to track down the problem right now, any suggestions from anyone???

[twistedtoy92]

missing oil galley plug inside the block? or you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.... Put a manual gauge on it and see what kind of pressures you are REALLY getting!

[runr-meech]

i watched Putney put in that plug , so i know thats not it, maybe the sending unit.? im going to ckeck that now.

[twistedtoy92]

nice! well hopefully you just have a weak sending unit!
