do you think the heavier oil could be causing the gears to break? I will try a 10W30 for my next oil change which is due 2 weeks ago, timing wise not mileage and see if it slows down the blow by.

If so, then I've been lucky. I haven't run anything lighter than 10w-40 for the past 3 years (and even ran 20w-50 for about 1-1/2 years).

 

[94tbird]

i was using 5w20 so i doubt its the oil

 

[ZmanM3]

10w-30 has been good for me and if you have your VCT locked out I think its a good idea.

Damn Ron, I loose track of a little bit of time, and I come back to Ron with another motor failure, and Larry_H is the VSOP of '09?!?

Looks like you've already dodged a few bullets, but I've still got my toes crossed for you! I don't want to turn out like Don's hillbilly buddy with the gang bang finger bang issues.

Maybe you should have just bought a Daewoo!

What do you mean another failure. This is the first motor problem ive had. My stock motor was perfectly fine. Peter bought it.

My bad bro! I don't know why I thought you had a failure before! You must have broke everything else, except for the motor! LOL!

Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread but following this closely as there seem to be a few of Larry (the crook) engines in our cars - can someone explain this quick:

* Does an engine need the flywheel or anything else external to balance it?
* What is "ring Sealing"?

Thx

 

[W1ldcat]

Looks like typical wear to me. The 2nd bearing looked better. Maybe polish the crank or it fine. I'm very nre to this and have only rebuilt 1 engine and it was a 351W and I did that just to learn..

 

[94tbird]

pics coming but we jsut removed the oil pump and both gears are shattered, about 14 or 15 pieces lol

 

[ChevyKiller]

I think many of us were expecting to hear just that.

So far it appears it could have been much worse...

 

[94tbird]

I also shattered the internal housing of the pump. pics:

My gut tells me

Ron, it is very sad to see this. I agree you could get the crank polished, but I don't think there are any real shortcuts that are safe IMO. If it were my motor, I would first hunt Larry down and make Saw I,II,III, IV & V look like Disney-fucking-land and then I would ship that longblock to Livernois and have it refreshed. That would be after I won the lottery, of course! No one has to tell you, you know this better than most..Good luck

was this the stock pump?

Yes it is stock....edit....it was stock lol
