Subject: it could only happen to
me.
hey mark, do u wanna warm the datsun up? (e.g
take "my friend " and "i" for a drive..)
" sure, but
my brother has the datsun 1600 (my turboed stroker) at his shed
just outa town, go there and HE, will take u for a drive in
it."
as they leave my house to go to the shed, my brother
leaves the shed with some one else in their car to get the pressure
cleaner from my house so they just miss each
other.........
a few minutes later my brother rocks up to
the shed , " what the .....?" he see`s the headlights on the
datsun........
"er, i went to take it for a drive but its idling
rough......"hmmmmmm.
can you take my friend here for spin in it?
sure
said my brother, .so he starts it up, idling rough still, gets out on
the road , and goes to tromp it, pinging like crazy, backs off
immediatley.....hmmmmmmm
whats wrong?
my brother returns back to the
shed, then i rock up there 5 minutes later...
its running
rough....start it up 5 seconds later it stalls.......
i then lifted up
the bonnet and said " what the heck?.....!!!!!"
there is oil
absolutely EVERYWHERE.... after a few expleteives more, i took it home ,
cleaned it down , and took it for a half decent run, got home same thing oil
every where, cleaned it down again, started it up , held the throttle open
high revs, and there it was, oil and heaps of rich BLUE SMOKE pouring out the
rocker breather.
i`ve never had a hose or what ever on the breather, it was
always perfectly dry there .
so take the head off, take the
pistons out , sure thing the ring lands where broken on
every piston and a few cracked rings.
so that knob took it
for a drive without my brother, i know that he has NEVER
owned or driven a hi-powered car., so didnt even know
how to drive it, he would have thought, `hey this car had a turbo on it
so i`ll hold it flat`...........
so at the moment i am
extremely peeed off, another $300 or so to fix it up...
where
will it end????
