Default Re: UNLUCKY?

Here is the latest update. Today was a good day after fighting with head bolts for a week I got them all out. Tried 4 different ½” drive air impact wrenches and one ¾” impact wrench, none of them worked. The head bolts are 9” long all the impact wrenches did was to flex the bolt. The only thing that worked was a good 6pt impact socket and a long breaker bar (36”), lots of sweat and one smashed thumb.



When the head came off I had to look very close to find the screw. The next picture is the piston down in the cylinder, I see some nicks I don’t think there serious.



The next picture is the #7 combustion chamber. It’s a little fuzzy but if you look close you can see the screw near the bottom of the page close to the right exhaust valve




Last one is the culprit removed from the head. As you can see it does not take much to make bad noises and cause bad things to happen to our engine




So now to clean up and put it back together
