I guess it is the risk one takes. I will have to see if they take care of me, or let me out to dry.
I just came in to finish this thing up today , because I am leaving for a 10 day vacation on Friday.
Filled it up with fluids, twisted, the key, and it backfired once out the intake, and locked up tight .
I am 100 % sure it was already blown up. The oil filter housing was cracked, and in my head, I was wondering how long it ran without oil .
10 years ago, I would have thrown a hammer through the wall, and went and got drunk, but I guess, I am gonna suck it up, and go to one of my kids friends b day parties, and come back and work till I drop .
The good news, is that it was a through the top motor job, and only about 13 hours in so far, the bad news is, I got another 10 or so hours to go.
They always go way , way faster the second time, as one has already fought apart all the rusty fasteners, and knows exactly how everything goes .
A quick pic of the offending pos.
How is your weekend treating you ?
