FLYER15015 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Looks to me like a cast aluminum pan, on a car, in a trailer, with a chunk missing. Which any good welder could readily fix with a TIG. Do I get a "prize" ? Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Positive crankcase ventilation? No. I believe more like NEGATIVE crankcase ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 What was the SOUND like? I had what sounded like a rod throw in my 40 Ford powered by a Olds Rocket, but it was a fan blade tearing through the right front fender. Man did the engine ever shake.

Driving the '15 truck about 28 mph on tour with everything going well and all of a sudden with no warning, clang,clang, etc. Any one have a rod & maybe a piston they would be willing to part with? It is for the 1915 +- a year Buick engine with the 3-3/4 inch piston and a I believe 5 inch stroke. I will post the picture of the rod & part number when I get back from the tour and get the engine apart.
