Ok, tore down the Grey Ghost's engine to determine what happened on the way to Wickenburg ... images below:
I am missing something: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i239.photobucket.com-1696-1273510232.1.jpg) Oooooo, that hurts: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i239.photobucket.com-1696-1273510232.2.jpg) Bits and pieces: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i239.photobucket.com-1696-1273510232.3.jpg) Tested all factors on the CIS and flow on the injectors is within 5% of each other. Analysis: Cylinders 1 & 2 on a flat six are the poorest cooled of all. Apparently, #1 got hot and detonated (poor gas, bad timing) and broken ring lands / rings were the result. Oh well, now in search of a good used Mahle P&C. I will be adding a Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge to #1 cylinder to monitor temps from now on. Thank you Ferry, where ever you are in the universe ............... |

I'm not trying to discourage you but it appears that all or parts of 2 rings passed
thru that newly machined groove in that cylinder. The big chunks on the sump cover are only part of the shittage in the motor. It needs to come totally apart to clean all of that crap out of the oiling system.....or it will quickly return to a state of dis-repair. |

After many years of racing experience with blown motors, I am keenly aware of metal passing thru an oiling system. The only saving grace (if any) was that I drove the car nearly 200 miles after the incident with no loss whatsoever in oil pressure and about a 10 degree elevation in oil temperatures. It will be thoroughly cleaned. Cooling tin mods will be down. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Pitch a bitch there JP ... but when you're in the middle of the dirty rotten stinkin' desert with nothing in sight but rocks and cactus and no water ... many things come to mind. Once I got started there was no stopping till I hit home. |

If you'd have thrown in some snakes, spiders, scorpions, wolves, and maybe an angry husband or 2 into the mix it would seem like a better plan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
