We’re all fork lift specialist at our shop due to shit like this

I think they just had absolutely no clue what they were doing. They put the wrong exhaust cam in the head and there were so many bolts that were wrong/missing/crossthreaded. Came in as a no start.

CR-V, 2019 I believe.

Tech found a piece of plastic blocking an oil passage that feeds 3-4. Been happening with the 1.5s, apparently there’s now a bulletin reminding techs not to open oil filters by sticking a finger in...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Zero heat. We squared off the flats with an air hammer chisel, then drove a smaller socket on and let the impact eat. Came right off and cleaned the threads

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

If you don’t see it immediatly, they helicoiled the balancer bolt threads. Which isn’t too bad of a thing in and of itself, helicoils will make the threads stronger than they were... if you install them right. But the genius building this motor fucked up the helicoil and skipped a thread.

Now sure you could just yank out the helicoil, and oversize the new one, but nobody here wants to so that and my boss made the call to just have them replace it. Unfortunately the new one doesn’t have an oil pan so we’re going to have to order a new one and have Jasper reimburse us.

Oh and for background it’s a 351 Windsor for a 1982 Ford F-150 getting a motor swap.

For this service we are doing oil change, brake fluid, serpentine belt, and pollen filter. Warranty time for that is 3.65 hours. Our annual service (oil change and brake fluid) are 4 hours, customer pay.

It is AK s omething but it has some Magpul upgrade parts on it. It could be an airsoft rifle too but in the US it’s likely a real one.

Rather hard to look past that pistol grip tactical weapon. Camaro sticking to its stereotype for sure.

Thank you for what I hope won’t be the final time. These have been a real bright spot every weekend.

the grip matches...

when did aks become cheap plastic junk? (as opposed to cheap wood and metal unkillable junk)

I would love to continue, if I can find a suitable new home to host these roundups. I might try putting the next one on DriveTribe, but it’s not as feature-rich as Kinja.

And i t appears to have an 8-lug hub too, which would suggest a heavy-duty truck! Yikes indeed
