The reassembly began yesterday on the motor and I think it will go back together pretty easily. I watched the Fedex plane land in Spokane on Flightradar an hour ago that has my part so it will be here sometime today. (Hoping sooner than later!) The factory service manual is pretty solid so I'm not nearly as leary about the timing as I was. Still need to be very careful but it looks doable.
SUPER stoked on the ice screws! Over $500 worth of screws for $160! So ready for next ice season!

Interesting list here, not sure how many are client side only.
Problem identified! Now the real fun begins, resetting the timing once the parts get here and I can put the engine back together. It was a $30 part that broke and with that just a piece of plastic was the actual problem. This all could have been SO MUCH WORSE so this is a little win in my book!

No, Israel is the most expensive thing the US has built
Old style pairings made for a seriously long day at the wrestling tournament yesterday. He ended up winning two matches and losing two matches and learned a good bit along the way. The waiting in between matches was the worst combined with the cacophony of sound that was almost constant for the 6 hours we were there. Thankfully the rest of hte tournaments are digital pairings.

Given the track record of our "security" agencies... he's WELL within the realm of reason doing this. Fuck their disloyal bullshit. They take the oath when they take the job. They go against that oath they are subject to the consequences. He's seen the disgusting corruption and is hopefully going to reform the shitshow.
GM.

When all else fails, use a bigger wrench.
It took the 36" pipe wrench and the new deep well socket to get the crank shaft bolt loose, and it did so rather easy feeling compared to the effort I put in with the smaller tools. Now the trouble of getting the timing cover off has me stumped. I can't be breaking or bending anything so am trying to be very careful, but it is not wanting to play nice. Something is holding it up above the crank shaft.... maybe the seal? or the sealant on the bottom surface?
I'll work on it later and hopefully figure it out.

Ahh yes, the communist coast. All we all want is the Sierra Cascade crest from north to south and west is a single state. All those assholes can rot in their psychosis while the rest of us live a normal life.
GM! Our youngest couldn't help but tear the book up in spite of him loving it.

It March #Mechanics month for me it seems. Woke to the gate broken yesterday morning but it was a mellow fix thankfully. I managed to get the old #Subaru started, running, rolling, tuned up, licensed, insured, and now drying out the insides over night after the 5 years of sitting.
THIS SPONGE IS MOBILE!
The tool arrived for the crankshaft pulley but now I await the deep well socket today so I can use the huge pipe wrench I have to get the toque needed (185+ ft/lbs) toget the bolt loose. Then I can actually pull the timing cover to reveal my likely problems.

I made a tool to try and get the crankshaft pulley loose yesterday but it just wasn't strong enough to break the 185+ft/lbs of torque the bolt is at... So I have a tool arriving today that will do the trick. I have other parts to work on removing today until it arrives.
Of course the #3printer borked as well... When it rains problems and issues in life it seems to want to flood with them rather then a gentle sprinkle.

Best is to just redo. Your not likely to get glue to fill in in that position. Looks like you have that side a quarter inch too long before the 90.
The battle continues as I tear down the engine. I only had a few hours yesterday to work on it amongst all the driving around during the day. It rained pretty good in the afternoon and I was super thankful for the canopy I setup. Today I have to get the water pump off to get the timing cover off then the head can come off... such a process.

Need to put the fentanyl in jail for killing, not him
So far the prognosis is not looking good. I'm down to the OHCs but now have to pull timing and heads and everything else to get down deep and see just what the fuck broke. I really don't want to have to yard the entire motor out but if it is pistons then it will have to happen.
FML!
Only dim lights to the experience is I was at home when it broke, I have the facotry service manuals, and the knowledge and ability to do the work.
