my gut says the engine is shot but I have several guys tellimg me its gonna run again

 

"No valve action."

It turns out that this is what is wrong!

Unfortunately, not in a repairable way. I now know what went on last Saturday as I went under the light and heard what I thought was the rods clanking... I also know now that the engine DID in fact seize up, the TOP END but not the whole engine. Just got home and checked the cam pulley as a friend hit the starter. The can and belt don't move, and the belt is ripped apart!

As I said, I went under the light saturday evening and....
I heard the engine sound funny, so I pushed the clutch in, the engine quit. At this time, the cam seized up. Upon releasing the pedal, the engine of course turned over, ripping the timing belt apart.

I just checked, the timing gear at the cam won't turn, and the belt is broken - so the engine DID seize up, the cam that is. This explains what I knew all along: the engine, as I crank it, just doesn't SOUND right to me.

I am not in the mood or mindset to try to replace the engine. I have an offer to buy the truck as is and anohter guy wants the (almost new) tires. It's now me, my Crossfire Roadster and the company van. For the time being.

 

I just found this thread.


Read it thru.


Got to wondering.... do I talk about myself TOO much on here?

 

Now what ever gave you that idea???

 

You know, I just realized: I never canceled the insurance on the truck!

 

get your **** together there fella. That's an order!

 

Well, with my discounts and the age of the truck, I THINK it'll only lower my premiums by something like $20 a month.

Anyone gonna ask me how the new drummer is coming along?

 

I thought I replied to this thread but apparently I didnt. It was a different thread with almost the same name

Well anyways... my post in your other thread still applies to this one too!

Yea, I wondered where you've been, not that I was really sitting on the edge of my seat for your input.

Let me help you with that Pizza:

 

if you only made the money they have made being stupid...lol

 

What about me?







Oh, wait.... I've only been stupid - made no money at it.

 

That was before my time when that came out. You would have to look at bluecoupe, sparkiesrt6, Lorne, onehundered80 or some of the others for that mistake

 

What about the life insurance on the wife?

No.
