Little red pickup
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2021 1:16 am
A guy called me.
Said the local bosch service center guy gave him my number.
He has a nice red rabbit pickup,..
that runs like crap.
He was right, never seen one that runs so bad.
Didn't think it would make it into the hoop shop.
Smokin and chuggin.
It's running through the coolant.
I can smell it in the exhaust.
That isn't usual.
I can usually see air spurting into the reservoir when the head gasket goes.
But have never seen it so bad it comes out the exhaust.
So I started opening it up today.
Damn people who glue the valve cover gasket on.
I can almost hear them saying, "Wouldn't want to be the guy who has to take that off."
It has an M head,.. M at the end of the part number.
12mm head.
But it has the 11mm allen head, head bolts.
Most people know the 11mm head bolts are too short and put too much pressure on a small area.
Known to crack the block or pull the threads out.
I'm thinking the block is cracked.
Stay tuned.
