ouch...sorry to hear about that Josh.... i am more leaning toward a cylinder head(crackede valve seal/valve)or head gasket rather than the block(piston rings)...from what i hear those blocks are bomb proof... does sound like you wil have to pull the engine... i have all the r&r info you'll need... pm me your email and i'll send it to you.

 

Awesome! Thanks!!!

YEAH looks like fun! good luck with your repairs

 

Thanks.

Engine is almost out. Just need to unbolt the drive shaft and halfshafts. Then undo the engine and tranny mounts and then pull it!

Looks like I might be replacing a piston as well. [:@] A buddy came over today and looked into it and it looks like there was some pitting going on. Won't know for sure till it's all taken apart.

More pictures coming later tonight.

nice pics, now would be a good timeto cleam or inter coolers unless you are getting new ones, jsut take some gas jsut a little and dumb it in the tank plu gone end and then plug the other end and swish it around and 20 mins later all the opil and **** is gone and clean ic's. drain gas and let dry for a day good as new.

 

is that a segway i see?

 

Ok, yeah I might have to do that.

And yes jeff, there are 2 segways in those pictures.

My dad started the first ever segway rental business in the world when they came out. It did catch on so my dad had to close it down but now they are everywhere.
