Buck531 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't think this happened in 30 minutes of driving after I put it back together last weekend. There's just WAY too much shit in the pan. http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/motor/ How long do you think that has been happening?

Buck531 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 any idea what the metallic paste looking shit on my fingers is? It's not bearing is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Is that from the new engine? Or the old one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Is that from the new engine? Or the old one? The one that blew up. The new motor had just oil in it with no other crap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wow, that sucks. Glad you were able to get it all straightened out. That really looks brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 so with all the engine peeps on here, no one can tell me what that shit is at the bottom of the pan on my fingers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 any idea what the metallic paste looking shit on my fingers is? It's not bearing is it? That would be my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 That would be my guess that's a LOT of bearing. I always thought the bearing material was copperish like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 ground up bearing and maybe some of the crank journal or the big end of the rod depending on how bad it spun thats what the oil in all my buicks looked like after it stretched the rod bolts and then pounded the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
