X64v Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Blew in six places. Dizzy hold down bolt came loose on the highway and advanced the timing at least 10 degrees. Luckily this gasket acted as a safety fuse; there were no other casualties. Changed the gasket and proceeded to drive to MSA the same day. Some of you got to see it sitting on my car at the show.

AK-Z Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 no lock washers on the dizzy bolts? Honestly I would not had lock washers either unless I had them at the time of install . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah there was a lock washer on the one that came loose. Obviously it wasn't locking anymore. But I hadn't touched that bolt in well over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I wasn't busy. Bernard and someone else was busy. All I did was deliver two head gaskets and suck beer. I may have held feeler gauges at some point, but that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
