Well, my fall ride went bad today. Loping down the highway at about 80-90 in the left lane in 6th I heard a bang and everything started to shake and rattle like crazy, plus I could hear naked exhaust coming from somewhere. It sounded like someone rolling a metal garbage can full of parts down a steep hill.
I limped over to the next exit and coasted to the bottom of the hill where I called my friend and told him to hitch up my trailer and come get me.
This all happened about 7pm. It's now around 9:30, I'm home and I have the plastics off.
There's a hole in the block the size of a dime.
Looks like my season is over regardless of what the weather does.
Anyone know where I can get a good price on a bottom end? Looks like the cylinder is ok, as for the reciprocating assembly...I won't know until I get it apart.
Maybe I should just look for a complete engine but I was considering going to a 1397 over the winter and this seems like as good an excuse as any.
