Yeah I believe you found the issue !!

Now see if you can find my inner transom plate.. I've been tearing the shop apart for the last hour looking for it & have yet to locate it..:banghead:
 
There's one here for you. I've got one of my guys that will be here from Chattanooga the weekend of the 8th-9th. Or the next time you're up this way.

Thanks buddy I really appritiate the offer, but thankfully I just found mine a little while ago in the back of the shop where I put it up for safe keepings so I wouldn't misplace it..:rolleyes: I am so glad I found it b/c it has some of my Hyd. lines & a block for the ITS system.. I was starting to get frantic b/c although I don't claim to be the most organized guy in the world, thats not the kind of thing I loose..

Again I really appritaite it !!
 
Crank, block and pistons are at the machine shop. Crank will be magnafluxed before any of the expensive work is done to it...

Also got some time to work on the old Rose Marie. Got the drive put together. Went to put my oil dipstick in and had to mess with it for a while (and had to do some custom work to it)... d@mn oil pan was full of water. I guess that will teach me to just put a bolt in the hole and let the cover blow off of it. Anyway, got it drained and refilled after a trip to the parts store. Went to to crank it up. Nothing. I think I might have the distributor out of phase, but my coil has definatley pooped the bed on me. Back to the parts store.

Tomorrow.

Maybe.
 
Seriously though, those are some nasty bearings! I don't think I've seen one taken out that bad that still had the rods in the motor. Hopefully everything turns out all right at the machine shop.

I'd say that if I got it started again, I would have lost it trying to load it on the trailer...
