Nelson's bus motor expired two years ago, but it wasn't until today that I was able to have a look.
We're not using a type 4 for his car, but I was curious. Dropped Valve Seat. In the last picture on this post, check out how the spark plug electrode survived the destruction: Attached image(s)

Rich This engine has been attempting to commit suicide since Nelson has owned the car. It gave us several warnings, but we wanted to try to keep it going. When it actually got bad, we were in Moab for Red Rocks. Our options were: try to drive it home or get a 6-hour tow. It made it back to NM before it finally expired in my driveway. It was a convenient location for the failure. This bus engine was always thought of as expendable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) |
