Can't fix stupid
Many of you know my saga.
I did a DOD delete back in Jan sparked by low oil pressure.
I noticed some brass colored sparkles in the oil prior to that, but blamed it a dirty drain pan.
Sparkles have gotten worse, but oil pressure is still good with the new pump i installed.
Pulled the filter today, cut it open and i found larger metal pieces, some are magnetic...
I'm thinking i probably spun a crank bearing...
I decided it's best to totally stop running the hoe.
So I'm now working on pulling the engine and a full rebuild.
I just pulled the lower hose to drain most the antifreeze, now the work will begin.
Tomorrow is a beer day.
Hoping to get some help tomorrow after beer to yank the hood.
I used a paint marker to draw lines around the bolt positions, and around the bracket location.
*sigh*
