You don't get paid enough to deal with that $hit
Being an engineer myself, I can say that there are a lot of engineers that have never turned a wrench in their life. Often times things would only require a minor tweak in the design to make maintenance so much easier. Seeing some of the stuff you post makes me want nothing to do with a newer vehicle. Some of the better machines I have had the opportunity to work on were farm equipment manufactured by John Deere and Case IH.
Nepo Tism.
Heavy wear to piston because compression leaked straight down to oil control ring level and side loaded the piston Ed?
When the rings all line up like that, doesn't that indicate an out-of-round bore?
Maybe you just need a helper named VaJohnJohn?? Hahahaha
My guess was poor production tolerances like the older 5.3 Vortec engines with cold piston slap. All the rings being installed the same way also suggests an assembler who may not have been sober. I can see how the piston load would be uneven with the rings all put on the same way and then wearing on one side.
Red Armor will clean that right up.
Not much here. How’s you Dan?
You still getting drenched, or have the rains subsided?
