reality - the "down" side

Gold Hound is an inspiration to us all ..

here's a little of my reality this season - not out the inlet - back in yard and engine out -



can I log this as an empty hole?



working on getting back running as soon as I can - clear, cold and calm sounds like Dec to me

Re: reality - the "down" side

I dont see any rods or pistons hanging out the side of the block or pan.What happened to the cat that you cant work on it in the boat?

Reminds me of the Conq last year:

Re: reality - the "down" side

if its a 3208 it probably dropped a valve into a piston. every single 3208 I've seen in a shop was for a dropped valve.

actually it was swine flu - came out of the "Gold Hawg" - not usually a problem with 3208s but...
coughing up oil like a sick cat

I'm a soft hearted gal and decided to take care of the poor little thing while there was enough left to rebuild
tho i guess a piston hangin out would have been more dramatic maybe could have taken out the turbo too

this step is a bit more engine work than I'm up to so most efficient thing is to get it somewhere to be fixed

don't know why I'm explaing this - but thanks fisheye you are my kind of guy - i like the "it don't look broke"
optimism - that's always my first call
