Ordered one and found out where my oil leak was coming from. Suspected a front seal leak but it was actually timing pointer holes in the timing cover that couldn't be seen with the balancer installed (Milodon Gear Drive). Got really excited that I fixed the oil leak and decided to do an oil change only to find some bits of metal stuck to my drain plug. Long story short, broke a cam thrust bearing & race, also damaged mounting surface on the block. Back to the drawing board...
It's always something isn't it? Sorry man. |

I know Right! I could smell that for a few days, then a week or so later when I fired up my new motor smelled it again. But I now know it is sealed good. Pulled 15 inches of vacuum at idle first fire up. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |
