Consumer Description

One morning I started my truck to go to work and the engine started ticking when I arrived at work the engine was still ticking . Being a European Automotive Technician for 34 years I knew this was bad . I performed an extensive diagnosis of the engine and found metal particles in the oil and filter at that point I knew that something in the engine had failed . I removed the engine and removed the oil pan for further inspection and discovered that the # 2 cylinder piston was broken below the wrist pin.
