LEAKOIL Forum

Driving loaded down at100mph in 104 degree temps may have played some minor role

I was only going 80mph...and Jayq and Brad's combined weight is only 500lbs...and we ONLY had enough stuff for two weeks in the bus...AND..well yeah...the temp was 104+...

Okay...I get it...just forgot to break it down Wont be doin' that again...well....I better not say never

It looks soooooo sick

Thanks for helping me get the ball rolling...so now what do we need to do before it goes back in??? Do you think it will be on the road for the weekend

I'm going to try to get out and pull your fuel tank and see if we can find your leak. Prob replace some shift bushings too so your not waving out of the passenger window when you shift

YAY!!!! Just let me know when is a good time for you

here for a hand bill let me know when you go out

One cylinder melted while the others are OK would point to a way-too-lean condition in that cylinder. Bad intake runner hose? Clogged fuel injector? Leaking fuel injector seal? Loose intake manifold nuts?

#2 and #4 were roached.

"OK guys is this clean enough for you?"

Rolled out to Smittie's to drop/pick up parts with Bill. Let me tell you these guys were hard at work!


They had the gas tank out long before I got there.


Bill & Lurch found why Smittie was getting those fumes in the passenger compartment.


This is an easier job with the engine, battery, FI brain and everything else out of the way inside, but it's still a tough replacement if you ask me.


The 79 degree expert was down below w/ Lurch checking out the heating components! They certified it for... 79 degrees!


You can see where Bill & Lurch replaced the front coupler.


Bill got the "metal ball" half together.


Smittie provided some supervision.


Then Smittie's supervisor showed and her day was over.


Nice job by Bill, Smittie, Lurch & John!
