Ontopic A Thread About Butt Mustard, For Those Who Drive Automobiles

[Jehannum]

Honestly, as long as it made oil pressure, I probably wouldn't have removed the bearing caps.

SEND IT.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Is this supposed to be the "temporary" engine while you do yours up right? Or are you gonna run the one in your truck as is while you build this one up right?

I might be getting confused there.

This is the temp

 

[Mikeawesome]

Lmao

Dunno if it did, unfortunately. Probably could have hooked the starter up to a battery and checked, but with the gunk I saw in the pan who the hell knows what I would have gotten.

Jeff off

I was only half kidding.

There are companies that make kits to turn pickups into all electric vehicles.

Which pic? Didn't see anything obviously broken.

I'm looking at the pic wrong then.

Looks like the red is missing material compared to green.





Bearing are shot, sure, but that's not a deal breaker if the crank is OK.

Like J said, new bearings, plastiguage, there's still hope.

Nah, that's normal. Should see something similar on the #1 piston offset, but it may be on the opposite side of the throw.

Oh yeah, @gee
Good job with the WOT while cranking trick. Definitely helps prevent noise on startup

Pass it along. Surprising how few people know about it.

Besides, "the American Sports Car" was developed by a Belgian.

Duh. It’s America. All of our stuff was developed by furners.

Sorry about your engine Asa.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Today has not been a good day for this engine teardown and checkup. First I get the news of the above, now I find this.

Added pics of the upper bearings of this. Interesting in the upper bearings look great except for the ends.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Sorry about your engine Asa.

Thanks, but it is what it is.

 

[Mikeawesome]

is the engine running

 

[Valve1138]

Like a top.

This gonna depend on how temporary is temporary I guess. At some point you'll be deep enough into it you may as well just do it all and make this one your new bottom end.

Nah, forged rods are the only thing this has that I'd keep on the bottom end. Cast crank, crappy pistons, stock cam. No thanks.

 

[HipHugHer]

I don't know then.

If this one ran before it was pulled, didn't knock or burn large quantities of oil, I might be tempted to limp it along IF you're gonna do your other one in some decent amount of time. Not do it a piece at a time over 6 months or something.

Easier to say that before seeing the bearings tho.

I assume the cooling jackets are cleaned out as best as can be.

New bearings, couple seals, head and a few other gaskets could put it on the road.

I wish they still made a 2 door Yukon.
