Title: main #3 and cam lobe #10 (big pics)
Post by: R Dubya on July 25, 2004, 04:21:55 PM
Here's some pics of what's been plaguing my TGP (and me :cry:)

Are these wear marks normal or am I looking at reparing or replacing this crank?  This is main #3 which Jud told me to examine closely.. shouldn't be a problem given the size of this picture.   :shock:

So, whaddya think?  I can get some more pictures if necessary.  The engine looks good overall, everything moved fine when assembled, but it ran fine until put under load.  Obviously the cam was causing that, so something was stuck given the pushrod for the cylinder was bent in a u-shape.  Either lifter or valve, but the heads will be re-done so I hopefully won't be worrying about this happening again..
