71DIMER Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Great pics guys...well hell...I really tried to make it out this year. Last year I lost a nice muffler tip, this year it was just a little worse! I was on my way but got some engine problem so I tried to limp it back home (only because my idiot roadside assistance told me it would take 2 hours to get to me, and that was after 40 minutes on the phone with them to begin with). I knew the damage to the engine was doen after making sure there was enough oil in the engine but it was the oil pump that went so I figured on at least a rebuilt was necessary so I figured on limping it home. Well on the way home my poor overstressed engine finally blew up on me, just 5 miles away from home...I was so hoping I could write that at least it made it home but just like that horse on True Grit, my poor baby couldn't make it! Here's a pic of what would have been at the meet, see she was all cleaned and shined up! Here's a pic of the 'minor' engine damage: So now I'm on the lookout for another L16 guys so hit me up on PM if you have one or know someone that does! I'd appreciate it! :) 1 Quote Link to comment

71DIMER Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thanks Abe, like I said I knew there was damage already made to the engine so I figured on at least limping it home but man when it went BOOM, I knew it was toast. I could have coasted a lot further but some damn BMW was also stranded at the side of the road. By the time I did make it out to Del Valle, it was almost 3PM and most guys had already left, plus the wife and I set up our late BBQ so I didn't even get a chance to really walk around until later when most all left. So I'm glad to see all these pictures! Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Here's a pic of the 'minor' engine damage: April Fool's...? :( Bummer man, that's a terrible way to spend the afternoon that you were planning to be at an event. This looks like a great event. Maybe next year I'll try to make it down and represent the 610 community. Great pics Indy. Thanks for hookin' us up again. Quote Link to comment
