  1. I guess a short piece of 4x4 and a 3# mallet... Might get it.. alternate hitting the pistons.. like playing 'Whack a Mole'... Do you have a buddy that can pull on a breaker bar attached to the crankshaft? (Clockwise) motion..while you smack 'em...
  2. I like your positive attitude... .
  3. Good thing you didnt force it to turn over.. The liners may still be ok.. any chips on the top of the liner, where the fire ring would go? Keep it comin'... jojo
  4. Interesting statement Bob.. I have no clue about todays engines, and longevity.. I just remember Million mile E-7's and have seen many E-Tech's as well... How about the exhaust system's on the engine's you are talking about? Just curious... jojo
  5. A light dip in 15W40 Is what I was taught and on some others, 30W... not to much, so as not to hydraulic lock them up before final torque..
  6. just curious,,, when you install the nuts on the studs, and the stud turns/tighten up, what do you do about that? the studs dont have a screwdriver slot on top, so you can adjust them before you put torque on the nuts..
  7. Can I get an, Amen !!!
  8. I am really hoping you find minimal damage.. and I'm glad you are opening it up to look inside as well... I may be repeating myself, but I have been watching your post.. and I'm pulling for you.. jojo
  9. 👍
  10. How about 6 new set of rings? just because... any thought's? jojo
  11. Too funny.. I have a J-O-B now,. So,,,,, well anyway.. I just need to get my A$$ in gear after work.. :).
  12. Please dont feel like a dumbass... we all cant know it all.. You just learned something.. hat's off to you for keeping it upright, and no-one was hurt..
  13. what you saw with the walking suspension is not good.. those rears can move a little but what you saw..... hell no.. I am not picking at you right now.... but how long have you been driving Mack's, with camelback's???? It is a strong set-up, but like ANY other set-up. If it is not inspected and maintained..... Well...... You obviously know... I am glad that no one was hurt.. jojo
  14. I bet you are glad you didnt try to roll this engine over??? It would never have fired, unless of course you love ether.. anyway.. I do like the idea of buying the 237 truck.. If it runs really good and you can drive it, just because.. you'll probably be just fine, then set tis engine aside and re-biuld it, or carefully take it apart and clean the parts by hand, and sell the parts to recover some dough... jojo
  15. You nailed it..!!!
  16. Mice suck !!! down here we have dirt daubers that will build a nest in a bolt hole,, just imagine.. I litterally put plugs or tape over the ends of my hose rolls to keep them out,,, in a bigger hose, they will go up inside, out of sight and make nest, then when I cut a peice of hose to install it, and it doesnt let fluid through........ Damn dirt dauber's.. Thats why I cap them on the rack..
  17. Nice Rack's !!
  18. yep, i hear ya.... Janis, Jimmy, Elvis, Mr. Mojorison, and who else?? Oh yeah.... Onyx...
  19. that elephant foot was junk 2 years ago... But that is just my opinion.. I havent seen it all, but these pic's help
  20. Bob,,, I have no clue... I know that no matter how many jobs iv'e done, Out of nowhere here come a 'Monkey wrench' ... It's a WTF?? moment for me.. I had the block wokred over at a machine shop, and asked them to press the liners for me, because at the time I didnt have a liner press.. Buddy I don't know, but this weekend, when I have free time,, she's comin' out !!
  21. there is a dent on the back of the box that got my attention..
  22. That was why I came off as an A$$ at first... My gut told me that there are un-safe practices.... Inspecting those boxes is easy, as you know.. and now the story is that they are going to just fix that one... what about the other 3?? I hope 'C' takes a good look at all the info and opinions, and look around the shop with a keen educated eye.. Yes luck kept him upright, but I would like to add that he did good to not lose it also... jojo
  23. I appreciate you Glenn.. I knew about the .002" crush fit. The engine that I have is a '20 bolt'.. It just baffles me how that one NEW liner got pitted like that. There wasnt any rust, to indicate water was there. and it seemed like it was in line with where a piston ring was, while it was sitting. It did sit for a few months untouched, but I kept it covered and oiled.. Anyway, I may never know.. I do know that before I pull the liner, I will mark block with paint, where the pitting is, and see if there is a defect or bump or whatever, in the counterbore.. jojo
