oilI'm sure he'll laugh... then cry.
Any thoughts on why the first valve is black and the rest are not?
Damn 275$, I sold my longblock with 110-115k that had bad rings in #3 or 4 for 60$ and a line lock.
Its hard to get more than 100$ up here for a short or long block. Running in good cond. you could maybe ask 275$.
WOW and big congrats . Wish I would have been able to get that much.
Oil.... would you say it wasn't firing? The plug looked just like the rest of them. All looked good to me.
I can add a little more insult to it. They found me. I didn't even have to post the engine for sale anywhere..... AND they came and picked it up.
There was prolly some blowby on that cylinder. The oil was getting pulled in on the intake stroke and not completely burning in the combustion process. The girl that got it is going to get a chance to re-do everything on it. That's good. She got it to learn on. I hope they don't just throw a set of rings, bearings and an oil pump at it to call it done, though.
Her whole family should be joining us at our club's track rental.
Thats interesting a girl who works on cars? Dont see or get to meet to many of those.
