i dont know anybody that would have told you that you COULDNT, i diffinately would have told you NOT TO.

you do very nice work, and are an excellent faber, just dont do so much of it.
you lieing bastad :flipoff2::flipoff2:So I went to go camping the other weekend and had a few issues, loaded and leaving the optima yellow top crapped at a light......Got it replaced, and was leaving again when the PS belt crapped out. Turns out it was rubbing the underside of the water pump pulley, and trying to bind up the motor.
Fixed that all and the motor squealed a few times and started to clunk.
Pulled valve covers and oil pan in a mall parking lot, just to find that I had snapped a rod stud on #2, it spit the bearing and ovaled the rod and cap.
Turns out the motor is a fresh rebuild(didn't know that) but the builder had the oilpump pickup turned up to the crank.......
Replaced 1-4 rod bearings, cleaned, checked and retorqued everything, 1 new piston and rod in #2, buff the crank and threw it back together. It's never ran so good.......Especially for an emergency last minute late night rebuild in the dark.
Loaded again, the first light out of town I let out the clutch and found this..........
Now for all the naysayers, the WELD failed, and it's now at the machine shop getting a slug machined to fit between, then pressed, welded, pinned, and heat treated.
Worked it out between a welder friend of mine, and a buddy that owns a machine shop.
She'll be kicking again asap. And I'm getting a spare built same time.
Out for next weekend
