Snap crackle and pop

Got the short block apart...carnage. Found 2 broken pistons and several rod bearings wiped. Detonation. Only the top halves of the bearings were hurt so it was certainly preignition.

Winterfresh gum

Well the truck is being freshened over the winter...weather was nice enough today for me to snatch the engine out of it.




I pulled the pan...so far I like what I see...it's a 4 bolt and appears to have the heavy duty rods. (they have the large pads where the bolts go through).




So far everything looks good...no damage.
