Piston bore was fine.

Thankfully was a millisecond of a crank and not when full RPM running. Would have had to source a new engine.


Was told even if we had hand cranked, this could have still happened, unsure to cause at this time.

Next step, pull the pan. More fun to be had.

Incase I mentioned and forgot, pulled the plug on SUV FINALLY.

We used on our trip and blown away with the technology of this vehicle. Also there has Never been a fatality accident in this vehicle. Safe for those babies. Love the "thunder gray" color

Thanks. Me too! Had planned to get white but when I saw this color I instantly changed my mind.

Only preference was that the interior had tan leather and tan wood, it’s all black on black so I have a swiffer to dust it all the time.

Has the largest screen in any car too. Take some getting used to, virtually no knobs to turn/push. Dad would have hated it. Would just say “more things to go wrong”. He wouldn’t even buy cars with auto windows.

This place open on Labor day ?

Or is it another victim of the Labor Shortage ?

Free Day to Spend in a Bar away from Work, so it has that going for it . . . .

Dare I say . . . Morning' Peeps

It is amazing how just cranking it caused that much damage. I hope that is the last of your issues with that otherwise beautiful car.
