Dropped the pan on Buttercup this morning, planning to roll some new bearings onto the crankshaft.
Man, what a mess someone has made in this engine.
The crankshaft looks like it was run dry a few miles. The PO said he did run it very, very hot once.
The rod inserts were std. when the were installed, but the crank looks like it may have been welded up, theres flaking and pits on #3 journal, the only one I looked at..
Numbers 1, 2,and 3 rods are in the correct places but all others are all mixed up. Four of them are on the wrong side of the engine.
Now I gotta pull the engine.

Did you see where some Ass cut a hole in the firewall to access the temperature sender. There's enough room between the head and firewall to change it, why do it the hard way? Seems like extra work to me.Jerry Forrester
