In a prior post I mentioned that I was going to pull the drive train to check out the p/o's alledged rebuild. They said that they couldn't get it to idle. I found alot of blue silicone from the rebuild. Not good. Coupled with the fact that they had installed a hodge podge of FI components I decided to check out this ol' boys work. P&C's looked pretty new (I'll let the machine shop decide that) so I was hoping that everything else was too.
I almost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) in my shoes when I pulled the oil pump. This bolt is not only bent but had backed out 3 threads. The one below it was hand tight. looking at the back side you can see the difference in bolt lengths They had to have heard this. |

It is hard to tell if they purposely made the cam timing adjustable by enlongating the mounting holes of if that occured due to the fastner head hitting the oil pump.
On the stand, you should have not been able to turn it by hand. Nice job! |
