If your goal is failure and you succeed, did you fail??

Fired this up for a minute.

Full of oil but low pressure.
1-3-5-6-7 are cool. Doesn't sound to me like it's actually only running on 5 of 10 but who knows.

Kinda want to pull valve covers but regardless of what that shows I think I won't want to dig deeper to fix it in the near term.

That makes the question: "worth pulling the motor to save for later?"

Probably not.

Similar to Dakota: pull axles, drivelines, case, and in this case transmission. Scrap the rest.

I sure would love to throw a v10 into something dumb but no time or space.

I still need to see this machine in person. Definitely before scrapyard

And I think I lost a ring. Running great then suddenly not so great. Oil out the dipstick.

Huge miss, oil pressure gone at idle, WOT to maintain 40mph and oil smoke to rival post rollover recovery. She's shot to the point of teardown to diagnose what went horribly wrong.

No bad noises. At best, timing skipped a tooth?

nope

I'd be more motivated to strip if I had a better place to store parts and a better way to move them. Alas, the mowzercrane v1.0 didn't do the trick.

Lots of unbooked weekends between now and thanksgiving, I MIGHT be able to get something done about this...
