I keep clicking for updates like a maniac

Me too. I would guess with the hood on the car it is finished. I love that front plate.

ChattanoogaJSB

It is a cool idea! But photoshop for now, I see snow on the ground and even Donny should have lush green-ness!

Tossin

I'd be moving if there was still snow on the ground.

Absolutely photo shop for now! We are looking at getting a real plate made for the cruise, if Donny doesn't mind. The car isn't here, but we are still having fun with the pictures of it.
We have had 80-90 degree days so no snow thankfully. We are looking forward to riding with the top down.
Cheers!

God bless the canister oil filter

Frankie the Fink

First thing I got rid of on my cars....

Really And now my wife's Toyota Highlander has a removable canister with replaceable elements. Someone probably got a bonus for this innovation.

It's just marking its territory.

I have the large exhaust pipes and the canister at the bottom was barley touching pipe which was creating a way of transferring heat from the exhaust to the oil. Me no like so I got one of those after market adapter to where I could use a throw away oil filter. I got the shortest in length filter I could find to stay clear of exhaust pipe. Now me like.

Well, ya coulda changed it out for a spin on /adapter before the engine install......

Emptied out the right side pipe

The top piece with the waffle pattern, do you know what part of the engine that came from.

Westlotorn

Yes but I have the advantage of seeing thousands of those parts in my past life.
I will let others guess. I look forward to the details on this one.
Can the OE block be saved???

Donny Brass

I'm going to go with no on saving the block




You know if you're going to knock the flapper out you really should pin this so the shaft doesn't fall out

tuxnharley

Back side of the cylinder wall/skirt?

Looks like a piece of the underside of the piston head to me.

MOXIE62

Not seeing the heads it looks like a valve failed which cause all this. Now if that is true. Who's at fault , the owner, mechanic or God. If I have a engine rebuilt and I tell the mechanic to use existing valves if they appear OK, whose fault is it if the engine failed because of weak valve.

Underside of a piston. What a boat anchor the block has turned in to. Dennis

With so much forensic evidence as you have, I'd say a judgment will be easy to pursue. Here's hoping there are enough assets/wages to cover it immediately.
