[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 7249427, member: 575973"] This was a job I got this morning at work. Its a GX470 that the radiator leaked out. The owner never bothered to look at her gauges at all so this is what she ended up with.... [IMG]http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t82/thevic24/bghghytrr.jpg[/IMG] Got the motor out, got it apart and this is what I found... [IMG]http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t82/thevic24/get-attachmentaspx-3.jpg[/IMG] Well it REALLY over heated to the point that the hardened steel valve seats just decided to pop out. This happened on 11 of the 16 intake valves. Here is one of the pistons... [IMG]http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t82/thevic24/cbfg.jpg[/IMG] The GX is out of warranty and her insurance is not covering it. These are her options, Junkyard motor(no warranty) $3400 installed Nice used (6 mo warr.) $8600 installed New long block (5 year/50k warr) $13k installed--ouch!!! Well that will learn her... [/QUOTE]
