Those are readily available already....this was more to verify what I've said previously regarding single, dual and 3 pass radiator efficiencies.Great article , shame they don't do any radiators for s550

Have you got an inspection camera that you can get down inside the spark plug hole and have a look 1st. See if there is any sign of damage on top of pistons? Maybe it broke on the bang and exaust stroke sucked it out Imagine how lucky you would be then?#8 spark plug has no ground strap….thinking maybe fell off into the engine and banged some stuff up. We’ll know more when the engine comes out.

Not yet, I'm too busy at work trying to make enough money to pay for this....Have you got an inspection camera that you can get down inside the spark plug hole and have a look 1st.

Yeah, that trailer was pretty cool. We built it with a pivot on the tongue so an electric motor tilted the trailer back to make loading a snap.Thats quite the setup!
Found the same thing in my Jeep after an idiot check engine - knew well before the light hit though, during the 16 plug change. I'm not seeing any mileage issues and definitely don't baby.... I'm pretty sure it came loose and was probably my fault on the 1st top change - deep well thin wall socket, made my own and didn't thin enough. Got the right socket after the fact. Hopefully it just shot through the valves not hitting anything. I don't like the smoke but could be a symptom rather than something major.#8 spark plug has no ground strap….thinking maybe fell off into the engine and banged some stuff up.

That sucks!Not going to be that lucky.
We pulled all the plugs and the motor is so tight you can't turn it with a breaker bar so....something in there aint happy.
That really sucksNot going to be that lucky.

Sure does.That really sucks
Thank you.Sorry to hear that, I really feel for you with all the attention to detail you did on that engine. Fingers crossed that a lot of the parts are salvageable. Pretty sure everyone here is rooting for you.

I wasn’t trying to be a smart ass with my “that really sucks” comment, my bad if it was taken with the “no sh!t dude” flavor. I am truly sorry for your incident and hope for the best. PeaceThank you.
No offense taken at all, I appreciate the comments from everyone.I wasn’t trying to be a smart ass with my “that really sucks” comment, my bad if it was taken with the “no sh!t dude” flavor. I am truly sorry for your incident and hope for the best. Peace
I honestly just don’t have the energy at the moment to deal with it.I know we are all waiting to hear what caused the failure. Learning from your misfortune may save someone down the road.
