Time to rename this thread. Because I thought California actually lost an Airline (as in Southwest or Delta) lol. Turns out it was an air line and beyond that, this thread got real dark real fast now that we know your engine is toast...major bummer and makes me nervous about my own every time I see someone blow theirs up I wonder if it's my turn. Keep us updated.
That's what I get for posting on my iPhone while broken down on the side of the freeway with my family in the coach. I did laugh when you pointed this out, and I wonder why I did not catch my mistake. No, we didn't lose an Airline, and sorry for the thread drift. Was such a shock to fix the discharge hose, only to seize the engine the next day 2 miles from home. Felt that they were related but I don't know how that can be. I feel that the engine in my bus is done, and since I already have an engine in my warehouse, I will try to make that work. From what I can determine by pulling the valve covers and headers, and looking through the inspection ports, that engine looks pretty clean.
