i was taking some pictures for the buyer of my turbo sheit, and i figured id show this awesomeness to you boys and girls
this wrapped up my season short:
(notice the ridge on the thrust journal)
that plus the thrust bearing being ground past the babbit and well into the copper equated to .040" play. still ran good though!..
gay iron clutches
ahh well
notice on the #1 main cap; the burn marks where the #1 counterweight was hitting (eesh). luckily it should be fine. need some further decision making though
the main bearings were TOAST. im surprised how well it ran
Get a twin plate like me… less pedal with all the grip.

im looking into it. they are expensive though $$$$. at the very least, ill need to get a throw-out bearing with a shorter sleeve
damn turbo, i didn’t see any of this when i saw the engine last
Thought it was just a cracked piston??

Agreed, you need a twin plate. Pay to play.
That sucks. Crankwalk is a bitch. I got to see some serious SERIOUS crank walk this weekend. Like 1/8", was funny.

the crack in the piston was very minor. still had decent enough compression, although keeping it on the road would’ve been a bad idea either way. i was flirting with disaster on pump gas, and disaster won. live and learn
