Re: 1968
Guys what is the worst thing that could happen to our trucks except having a accident.
Well, it is having your engine start to knock after only 10 minutes of running time. So I pulled the engine back out of the truck and took it apart. What I found was I forgot to torque the mains. I guess I was in a hurry or someone came in the shop and bothered me and I must have forgot. Well, it didn't do any damage to the engine except for the bearings. So I went and got another set of mains and rods and rings and a complete gasket set. This time I am not making that mistake again. When I seen the bolts I couldn't believe I done that. All was finger tight. I am one lucky guy. It pays to double check our work and when doing a engine get everybody out of the shop. I upgraded on the rings this time to poly rings. Longer life wear.
