Good morning everyone. Hope your saturday is going good.

 

I am happy to report that nothing that I own broke or was damaged yesterday. Furthermore, I got caught up at work. And all the deer stayed out of my yard.


I think Karma and Murphy both took the day off......

haha....Good news there Timothy

 

Hey guys a gotta Q. My sons 4 banger over heated and he put water in and now a no start. Checked and there is no compresion. Head gasket or cracked block?

Also is there a easy way to tell if the block is cracked? OMG it never ends.

 

I would pull the heads and check the cylinder wall really close of corse you will have to turn the crank to get each piston at the bottom one at a time. Have the heads checked at a machine shop. You may have to take them the block as well to get it checked. That's about all I know to do.

 

Water in the oil?

 

Thanks Scotty

We let it set for a day and drained the oil there was about a cup of water in the btm of the pan.

 

Hard to say from here and not seeing how hot he got it. Water in oil=BAD. Sounds like you got nothing to lose by taking it apart. Soon as you get that head off you'll know. I'm betting with what you told us, that motor is toasted. I hope I'm wrong though.I did that too a truck once. Thought my temp gauge was freaking out, but it turned out it was right. Big black puff of smoke came out the exhaust and she was done for. Didn't have any compression cause the valves were stuck open. You live and you learn.

 

Thanks Woody
The valves are working I just havent pulled the top off yet. But I think its toasted.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and that the bellies are going back down.

 

I had the water in fuel indicator coming on and off. I drained the filter and there was no water I could see.

So, I took the truck into the dealer to have it checked out. Had to be there at 8 am.

What a great way to spend my birthday.

I wore my Ford Truck Enthusiasts t-shirt. They tried to sell me a Mustang.


So, only one conclusion could be drawn. Wearing my FTE t-shirt made me look rich!!!!

It’s late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the winter was going to be like.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, ‘Is the coming winter going to be cold?’

‘It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,’ the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. ‘Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?’

‘Yes,’ the man at National Weather Service again replied, ‘it’s going to be a very cold winter.’

The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. ‘Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?’

‘Absolutely,’ the man replied. ‘It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.’

‘How can you be so sure?’ the chief asked.

The weatherman replied, ‘The Indians are collecting a huge load of firewood’

Good one TIM

There were 2 hunters hunting a remote section of the woods, before they went out they were warned to stay off of the adjacent property that was owned by a area farmer.

Later while scouting around they came to a fence and looked over and saw one of the largest looking varmit holes that they had cver seen.

They could not resist climbing over and having a closer look at it.

"Wow look at the size of the hole" said one. The other said "yeah thats the largest varmit hole I have ever seen; and it looks deep too."

"Heck lets find something to throw in there and see how deep it is.
"

They wondered a around looking for something and finially one hollered out "Hey come help me with this transmission" The other replied "What a transmission you think that will fit?"

"I dont know but let try it"

So they both got it pulled up and then chuncked it in the hole and then listened.

About that time they heard a loud noise coming from the bushes behind them and they turned to see a large goat traveling at about 100 mph and blasting through the bushes and it then shot right between them and went stright down in the hole.

They looked at each other in dismay and stared into the hole. Just then they heard some more noise from the bushes and turned to see a farmer step out.

The farmer said "Hey whatcha guys doing on my land?" They were still standing with there jaws hanging. The farmer then ask "Did you guys take my goat? !"

They both stammer "uhh uhh the uhh goat ?"

"Yes I said GOAT" said the farmer. "He was a big one and I had him
tied to a transmission over there."
