Mission Creep on a D-150
Time for an update.
Whoops!
My fine running truck took a crap after only 700 miles on the new build. I was busy for quite a while chasing bad noises in this thread Ideas on what's causing my click/tick/rattle noise?. Turns out despite my best efforts and reading a LOT on tuning, I had the timing badly misadjusted and detonated myself into getting to rebuild the engine. Again. :(
The block is down to bare-bones nothing, as I get ready to clean it, scrub the oil galleys, and get ready to put it back together. My GF thinks I'm some kind of good mechanic. I tell her all the time that really I'm somewhat mechanically inclined, but lack of information and experience bites me in the *** all the time. Proof positive, above. Back to the drawing board for round two...
