Well I worked on one of these plastic pigs today!
Talk about a contortionists nightmare --almost as bad as a 7.3 Powerstroke in a E350!
But only worse!
I had to do a corroded off #5 glow plug!
That means removing the engine access "slot" and developing orangutan length arms then finding ways to cut a straight upright attack to the glow plug with Herr Muller Werzuege!
Well not surprising I cut into it, got the threads cut! Even put in the extractor bolt in but it pulled the threads out!
So after the third attempt at arms length drilling and tapping I resorted to the old soldier method! --drive it and blow the bloody thing out!
And it did --First the feint "chuff chuff " and I think she's going to blow Capt'n !
And it did with a resounding crack.
Then the "chuff chuff" of a lost cylinder which reminds me of my Aunt Laura's motorbike who was a dispatch rider for the British Army during the war on a Mil BSA M21 !
When she came a visiting to make jam with my mother, i would often hear the sound of that one lunger Beezer coming down the lane and that sound reminded my of boxed ears pain as a five years old,!
She always managed to give me a whack in the kitchen during her visit! .
A bit like that bloody Reyo!! Punishment from start to finish!
A true plastic pig!
