Old pic of my previous neglected engine. If you engine has this much varnish, it's oil was not changed regularly.

 

Dang, Jeff.... you're pullin' 'em outta tha crate, huh? Gawd, I remember that pic when you had it as your sig... Back in the day when it was you, Kaleb, Matt(blehm), me, Nevin, and Mike(SkyMax) scouring the threads.

Those were the days.....

 

Yeah I remember that!

"Any questions?"

 

show us the "after" pics, Jeffy.

 

haha. There are after,after,after pics since that was taken!!

 

that's what I mean.. the ones after that engine blew up...

I wanna see the car itself too.. sounds like you ripped off a lot more than I did!

I'll take pics of the shell before the wrecker takes it away. Any requests? ie.. me in the engine bay looking stupid etc.. hehe. I'm gonna throw the old block in there also. I actually thing the block itself is okay.

 

how'd you blow the engine?

 

Well, it got me drunk and I had no idea what I was doing! I'm so embarrased!




Basicly, varnished up pos engine(from an idiot previous owner) + gunk all over the oil gallies + massive oil usage + low oil level within a few days + no low oil light warning + knocking = thrown rod end cap and schrapnel though the oil pan.

 

 

what about the heads, Jeffy?

 

The heads are without the valve/springs/retainers. I sold them. I also broke the cam in half getting the VTC assembly off! hahaha.

When the end cap froze/broke off, it sent a bunch of crap though the oil gallies and ruined one of the main cam support bearing journals. It's not bad but you can see a scratch. And since these don't ride on bearings, I don't know who one would fix them. How do you overbore when there's no undersized/oversized bearing to fit in? Also I don't think these journals can be unbolted.

 

gotcha.. me no mess.. I'll just take Kaleb's blown head gasket engine and start from there.

 

did you end up buying a new one the same color by accident, or is that someone else's car?

are you keeping the mustang rims on it. besides being different they look really nice

 

I just ended up getting another gold one by chance. Given a choice, I'd rather have silver,black,burgandy in that order. But the car was pretty clean and I knew the guy well.

I don't have those particular rims on it anymore. I have 98 Cobra rims on it now for additional clearance purposes.

Thanks for the compliment, it's rare that someone actually says they look nice. LOL!

 

Jeff, do you have your Max on the cardomain site. I don't think I've ever seen pics of your max. I think the cobra wheels would like mean..

 

No cobra rim pics yet but here's some of my wrecked car and replacement car.

If you think his old GT wheels looked cool, his Cobra wheels and tires are just plain badass. Its hard not to stare at them, or the meats that are on them.


Jeff, if you would like, I can setup a hosting account for you. LMK.
