I can't blame Neil, he always had Miguel fix whatever, and the fixes hold. But, his PO was a case. I'm still finding stuff. Removing the lunched engine has shown me many more. Once I lift it out, there's at least two days of cleanup and removal of not needed wires and brackets and chit. Then I'm gonna spray it down with Simple Green - since mineral spirits seem to be a nono any more - and hose it off. At least then future forays underneath won't be quite so oily/greasy as they are now.

I've another for the engine gurus though, since this is the first one I managed to shut down still running - albeit sans oil pressure and a nasty increasing metallic knock. I cleaned out the accessories yesterday, and now I find a quarter inch of end play on the crankshaft. I cut the oil filter open, it had copper chaff in the inside fold of the pleats, not a great amount. No steel or aluminum. So I figure the copper is a failed or failing bearing. But - a) where di all that endplay come from; and b) did it increase to the point it failed a rod bearing which then came apart? Disassembly may be revealing but iff'n it isn't, why did the thing fail?

Inquiring minds wonder
