Mostly stripped the engine bay. Turbo I almost smoked :( cold side blades making housing contact.

Still need to pull the big stuff (turbo, mani, lines, valve cover, sticks, pump, tappet cover, cam, case, head, brake master & booster), but all accessories and easy stuff is off, in the trailer behind the Eagle

no way, it's not shelled. I didn't look super-closely, but the case isn't obviously scarred. it was just starting to make contact.

Probable cause?  Head gasket failure?

Head gasket is perfect. High egt during wrong cam time caused top of piston to crack to top ring land. Loss of compression caused rich mixture and melty edges.

My reasoning anyway. The knock it picked up was probably piston slap. It's awfully loose in the bore.

There's a really short list of parts left to remove from this guy. Trailer needs some reorg to make room for the larger items and body parts.

Yesterday was a waste as far as teardown, but I might still be "done" today if I commit. Weather looks good, and the rest of the week looks damn busy.

Got lots of fuel out but both tanks are still in. dash out, body stripped...

Driveshaft, trans, engine, tanks. Then it'll go on the trailer, and axles need to be freed. birthday party tomorrow and dinner weds. Hopefully get it on the trailer Tuesday night and scrapped weds.

Trailer is pretty damn full. I think the body parts may go on CList.

Rain or shine tonight, it's time. I want tanks and drivetrain out tonight. Axles free would be nice too. May pull over to M4 for some plasma use. Ive got a guy who wants a body mount off the cab, and the  rear shackle mounts are wanted too.
