Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) need pics of KDP damage

[onestackdram]

I am sure this REALLY sounds stupid but I was wondering if anyone out there has had the unfortunate opportunity to have to take pics of what happened when the KDP came out. Like a real good front view of the gears and casing and so on.



Now I will explain why. There is a second year student up at school who is working on a 97 12v 5 spd. Now he pulled the motor due to the fact that no. 6 is scarred and possibly burnt out. So today when he was in his "DISASSEMBLE" I told him to come find me when he got the timing cover off and I would show him where the dowel pin was and how to fix it one way or the other. He then informed me that the KDP is just a 'myth' and that it only happened to a extreme view trucks. And went on to ignore me, so I figure that I would show him just what can happen if it comes out, and that the 5 min. fix since he has the WHOLE damn engine out could save him.



TIA

I wanted to but I left all of my issues at my dad's house back in KC last weekend and forgot to bring them home with me. So I really need some pics on here.

Here's another of my truck

It took a chunk out of the gear case. I thought the constant oil leak was from the blow-by tube. Wrong. Apparently it was broken for a long time as the lower portion of the break was pounded smooth and the upper was still rough.

Like yourself, I'm always willing to give what ever advise or help I can to help someone out. Don't mean to sound like a jerk but when someone shoots down my advise or ignores me I let em make their own mistakes and walk away .



I must say it's awfully nice of you to educate someone who's this unwilling to listen. Hopefully they take your advise, especially if the case is already coming off.
