mfpdm Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 So, was breaking down the motor that came out of the 87 parts truck just to see how bad off it was. Figured I could at least save a few internals for spares or maybe even rebuild it. SLUDGE!! :ack: I wondered why the radiator had no liquid in it. :shake: Here's what laid beneath the head. KABOOM!! :eek: #4, or what's left of it and a good bit of the cylinder wall is missing. Well, I think I'll just throw it in the pile with the rest of the stuff for the scrapman. :thumbsup:
fiatslug87 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Damn, that's a horrific sight, looks like you've been running nitromethane. :D
mfpdm Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 A little JB Weld and it'll be good as new. :D Absolutely :thumbsup: And I can reuse the spark plug too. Just need to bend it back into shape.
mvusse Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 With that much coolant in the oil, it's a safe bet all bearings are shot as well.
87Warrior Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 That'll buff out. Do I spy a snap-on tool set in pic #1. If so, the SAE version got me through my 4.0 rebuild :yes:
Geonovast Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 That'll buff out. Do I spy a snap-on tool set in pic #1. If so, the SAE version got me through my 4.0 rebuild :yes: Don't think so... looks identical to my first Craftsman set, 263 piece set that came holder thinger with 3 or 4 drawers.
Dave Stark Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Save that hardware, you'll be surprised at how often it will come in handy :smart: PROTO tools??

Got it on some rediculous sale one day. Had to go to three stores to find one in stock. Don't know how I lived without it. :D :cheers:
reson46 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 It's not that big of a deal. There are plenty of 4 cylinder MJs out there. :rotfl2: Do you know the story behind what happened? I bet its last few minutes were pretty interesting. Willy
mfpdm Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Well, I bought it from a guy who bought it from another guy. My guy said he thought it had a blown head gasket but had not tried to start it. Soooo, I think he knew and just didn't want to blow the deal. I wasn't wanting it for the motor anyway so I didn't care what condition it was in. But yea, I bet the last 60 seconds of it's life was pretty exciting. :cheers:
Automan2164 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Pretty exciting is most like likey an gross understatement. I would have been interested in firing it up and hearing what that brand of death sounds like. :brows: Epic fail. Rob L.
freakjeep93 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 the oil is what comes out of my kawasaki atvs rear end only not as white ... think milk
