Steve-O Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I love watching these kinds of videos. Shame we didn't see it firing up and then the next drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 How long / how many miles would you need to do for this to occur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_r Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Wow.. That's crazy sludge. I'm amazed with such neglect that the bottom end didn't fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I agree, it's amazing the bottom end didn't choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I was thinking more along the lines of the bottom end bearings being destroyed due to lack of oil lube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 That's what i meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 probably just enough to stop them eating themselves which is a stroke of luck. I wonder if they ran some engine flush through it a few times or just put regular oil in and give it an italian tuneup I can imagine it will yeald massive lumps of crap for some time to come.

Tony Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think they need to remove the majority of it first then give it a flush or five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Thats a fair amount of labour for something that might expire soon anyway. Each to their own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP09 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Couple of thoughts - surely he changed the oil filter as well? (didn't see that) Secondly, he olied the camshaft retaining bolts before torquing them up; I was told to fit dry - or halve the recommended torque if oiled. Anyone comment?

Tony Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yep they should be dry or they will over tighten and snap on removal and maybe damage the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP09 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks - I remember a friend used to work at AWRE rockoned that oiled threads = 1/2 recommened toque as a rule of thumb.... Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 In truth it would be nice if someone invented an oil/ grease for the wheel studs to stop them locking in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
