I just cannot publish my wishes when it comes to dealing with terrorist. I'll stop now. :)
Ok but where is the oil pump?
The blame for Jr’s engine failure from DEI is the belt broke because of track debris????
Nascar uses what's called a dry sump oil system, no oil pan. The pump is belt driven and (I think) located back by the rear end. Hoses supply the oil up to and from the engine.
Will try and confirm.
It may be located up front, sort of like the a/c on your car, but either way, the belt can break or get dislodged by a pile of marbles being flipped up or any other piece of track garbage for that matter.
Thanks, I just thought he would have known he ran over something, What bad luck to be the ONLY car to have that happen twice [I think] this year. I should have kept notes, but didn’t realize how bad it would get. I know he lost a power steering belt.
His new spotter posted to us over on the pitboard, he will take good care of Jr for us now that Steve Hmiel has either chosen or given orders to help Truex in the Chase.
My yard is green/yellow with several brown circles.
It’s either very small alien ships or my dog Chance.
Of course he denies any implication to the matter. /X-files
Jr doesn’t have a monopoly on this, it happens to others too.
Have had big dogs all my life, though I haven't replaced the last one yet and they NEVER killed the grass. What are you feeding him????
Aside from the Purina “fit-n-trim” and table scraps he manages ta find nuggets of sumpthin’ on our walks...God only knows! LOL
He drinks 2 litres of water a day & I think he squirts battery acid.
Maybe you should check out whatever is on your sidewalk.LOL
900...PPPfffftttt
It ain’t the sidewalk I worry ‘bout.
It’s the fields I cut him loose ta run in.
The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it's under the hood. Otherwise, with the length of the oil lines to the rear, oil downs and fires would be far more prevalent.
Anyway, if the belt comes off, you lose oil pressure. Actually found the best info at Moroso. ;)
