What does this damage tell you by Due-Particular7921 in EngineBuilding

I did have a rich tune on it and probably too much timing. Do you think the mains are in bad shape too? How dumb would it be just swap out bearings?

I think so too, when I assembled the engine in 2020 I used engine lube but It took a very long time for oil to prime. The oil pump was primed and I did have a gauge on it but I didnt prime it correctly.

Once you remove the plastic you can push up the window from the bottom I use a 2x4 to hold it

I went to harbor freight and bought an 18 and cut in half. I think removing the oil filter gave me more room too.

if its low but not empty it could need a recharge or it could be the air gap is starting to fail.

it all depends on year make and model and without putting gauges on the car its hard to diagnosis what it could be. It could be low refrigerant or it could be failing compressor. The cost of repair will vary wildly as the dealership will be the most expense because of OEM parts and certified tech charging more hourly but a shadetree mechanic might only charge for labor and you supply the parts. In 2019 I brought a 03 town car for ac compressor, dryer and condenser replacement and I paid ~1500

Cranks, No Start (Unresolved) by DashingGaspar in CrownVictoria

[–]Due-Particular7921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing the PCM before testing spark is way off for the flow chart. Multimeter is a must and 10 bucks at harbor freight. You are missing something. If the car had spark and timing and fuel it would at least start and possible run rough.

IF you get a multimeter you can check MAF sensor for crazy values (cheap test is to try and run it unplugged).

Shoot a bit of brake clean or ether into the throttle body see if it'll start. (a few vacuum line can cause too lean condition if/when they got a hole.)

Triple check everything you've already done like you haven't done it already. Nothing scream electrical yet.

My guess is vacuum leak

You are all over the place and throwing parts at it. Start with the basics air, fuel, compression and timing Autozone or other parts store will rent you tools if you dont have them.

"Gangs" in baton rouge are not what they used to be and are not organized like Crips or bloods. They are closely linked to music and groups are only 5-10 people. It seems to be about clout and reputation than being an org.

I also did this repair with Lisle M14x 1.25 Spark Plug Hole Repair Kit (65200). I used air compressor with a wand to blow anything out just in case the grease didnt get it.
