Lawn Art Gets a New Engine
« on: March 22, 2024, 12:59:33 PM »
Jon and Chuck's GM PD-4104 lost power on Interstate 15 near Lytle Creek. Inspection revealed a sand-like substance in the sensors and radiator hose.

After flushing the coolant system, the engine seized up and wouldn't start.

Dustin at J&R also completely rebuilt my engine last year when it ate a camshaft (because someone at the school district installed a cam follower incorrectly...)   I can't speak too highly about him.   He now only works on 2-strokes and he specializes in buses, he's honest and trustworthy, is a perfectionist, and obviously loves what he does.   I'm very fortunate that he's only 50 miles from me.

The sand substance is drop out from the wrong type antifreeze ,I felt bad about Jon engine ,I preach to choir about antifreeze and they still go to Walmart and purchase the cheapest antifreeze sold

We changed the cams in Yvan 8v71 where the cam followers where not installed properly and ate the cams ups too
Life is short drink the good wine first
