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. |

Does anyone else see what looks like a crack in the cam flange starting at the short bolt on the left?

When looking at from a side view. the material actually raises a bit where the 2 cracks are. But I really wasn't going to re-use it, honestly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
