Runs rough, fuel in oil.... lotsa codes...

[Jim Warman]

Well, there was the time, in my little corner of hell, to take a look at one I moved in to the shop at end of day Tuesday...

 

It fit 07-08-09 pretty good.... and so I changed the oil, per the TSB and set about pulling the valve covers... with DTCs for both sides, I decided to tackle the left valve cover first.... (never had the pleasure yet). Everything looked normal... Then I pulled off the right side cover and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif .... The cross head is missing off the #1 exhaust valves... at least we know where most of the fuel in the oil came from.... A I'm fishing the crosshead out with a magnet... I spot the intake rocker arm sitting at an odd angle.... and the intake crosshead is off of one valve - exposing a badly pummelled tip....

 

Early to tell... but I think I smell a motor coming my way....

The very last thing my schedule needed was something like this.... The SAs asked me what kind of time we would need based on my initial assessment.... I figured a day for diag... a three day space for parts and a day and a half for the repair.... What I got was "Chuck you, Farley...".
