Re: Barn raising
Finding the bent push rod like that I thought that if we had pulled the valve cover and taken the exhaust and the bent intake push rod out of that cylinder, in essence making a 7 cylinder engine if that could have gotten me home under my own power. Since the engine was shot anyway, it would have run really crappy and unbalanced but at least it would not have been using that cylinder.
But in the end I am glad I towed it home, saving what was left of my block and crank.
