waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yy back when i first started fixing cars, i was working at a tiny repair shop. i got lucky to be putting plugs in a big block trans am. not fun.
the guy in the bay next to me did an oil change on a duster. i forget what year, but it had the slant six in it. he finishes the job, ships the car out, and the customer leaves.
the shop owner comes out about 20 minutes later, asking about the duster. it seems that the owner drove it home(about 8 miles), noticed a rather loud tapping noise, and called asking about it.
the dude swore up n down he put oil back in it. i kept telling the shop owner to have it towed back in. shop owner want back to the phone, and told the guy to bring it back, so we could check it out.
he pulled into the parking lot, the thing was SCARY loud. i whipped it into the open bay, and checked everything......no oil.
the guy forgot to put oil back in it. i pulled the filter, pumped some oil into it, filled the engine, and prayed. after about 15 minutes it started to get quiet.
rather amazingly, it got totally quiet, and the guy was still driving that car every day.
THAT is why i like slant 6's.
i've never seen another engine drive that distance under those conditions.
