Couple fun pictures from work

Always fun when you get an RO that states "engine will not start"

So you go outside and try to start it and it does fire up, knocking like crazy and lacking a lot of power. So in the shop she goes, up with the cab and out with the engine. Enjoy.

Waiting on a new short block now...

WOW, someone will be forking out some cash!

That will buff right out ... according to some of the "expert" friends I have. I don't trust their information sometimes.

that's what happens when you use brown rice,

 

[killj0y]

just run of those full engine tune ups like zmax it'll be fine

 

[robertc1024]

I can't believe that thing would fire up. What vehicle was it in?

 

[wahlstrom1]

6.4L in a F550...

I am impressed it didn't bust the block out...

We have a parts tractor that threw a rod, blew out both sides of the block and the stub of the rod came to rest on the camshaft which it broke. The piston ran away and snapped off a valve.

We outta start a carnage thread...

Oh it is missing a good sized piece of the block on that side, kind of hidden by the engine stand.

that could have been avoided with a K&N air filter

A little Lucas oil stabilizer would have quieted that right up.

That's what happens when you don't change the muffler bearing when you're supposed to.

Well I just asked our head diesel tech. He says that's normal.
