lmorris Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Engine managed to make it 3 hours before it dropped #3 cylinder. Found this in the intake runner of the head when I had the valve cover off. It matches no bolt used in the assembly of the engine.Held open the valve causig it to hit the piston and bend. No parts available to repair it, no short block available. 3 long blocks in the city, but getting one of those is going to be a bugger. Unless someone is feeling overly generous.

cbriggs Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Based on the fact that no short block is available, you get a long block, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 I was pleasantly surprised. Put in cost cap with repair decision and parts availability to prior approval and got the long block approved in just a few hours, no questions asked. Customer is happy, Boss is happy, all's good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
