After the last repair listed. The customer went to another dealer and had the Coolant Cross-over resealed and had been over heated
The customer again stated having over heating issues last summer. He continued to drive it until now.
The front bank head bolts did not crack loose. I have not looked at the head bolts yet and inspected for any signs of aluminum. I will today. The Tech doing the job installs all 20 inserts when he has a failure.
As you can see the material is shiny.
This is a shot of the chips. They are chips and not powder. They are shiny
This is a picture of the TimeSert alignment fixture. It has collected minor amount of smaller chip/powder this is not shiny, but it is not like some blocks. On the really bad blocks the drill goes in easy and when you pull the bit out the material you removed is all powdery. Like dust.
So this 2000 block will hold the TimeSerts
