steeler Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hey guys I've got an mp7 that was towed into my shop from afar with a loose idler gear that has done the usual chewing up of the flywheel housing. The shop that it came from told the customer there was so much metal in the engine that the engine had to be replaced. My question is, at what point would that be need necessary? I've done one of these before but I haven't heard of anybody replacing the engine for this problem.

steeler Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 To be honest, I hope they are right. Lol. If the engine has to come out, then I won't have to mess with it. I've already got several big jobs on my plate and I can't think of a job I hate more than those idler gears!
