cmcveay Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 It's not the speedbumps that Ricky is worried about - ask him about the manhole cover (or water valve cover or something)... Just be sitting down when you hear about it, it'll break your heart... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

elpollodiablo Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 Ooooh man. I'm betting that's why he wanted my old front bumper.

rickyr53 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 ^^Not quite. That bumper was for me to practice plastic welding and and bondo/paint work :rock: @ elpollodiablo: I have actually gone an inch lower since those pictures were taken. It's not the speedbumps that Ricky is worried about - ask him about the manhole cover (or water valve cover or something)... Just be sitting down when you hear about it, it'll break your heart... Long story short, I cracked my block :banghead: I was in a hurry and hit what I believe is a gas line cover thing on the road. They are not as big as manholes but they have a domed top. I didnt think about after I hit it. When I came back to my car where I parked it I saw that it was sitting in a puddle of oil (see pic #1). I was like ehh its just the oil pan. So after getting it towed home and up on stands I realized that I had actually cracked my block The lower engine mount had snagged on the cover. **** had just hit the fan (see pic #2). All the money I had been saving up for new wheels and a couple other goodies has been put into a new engine Hopefully some forged pistons are in the works. Current status: The engine I bought is disassembled and cleaned (see pic #3). Im just waiting for a buddy to help me drop my engine. Kinda hard to do with a jack and just me #1 #2 #3

Perhaps it's time to raise the car back up a bit? "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

I actually busted my second oil pan right before the bay bridge. I had it about an inch lower in the front prior to that.
