think I can ben it back? JK
Missing freeze plug did not cause the bent connecting rod. Most likely, as John said, hydrostatic lock, water on top of the piston. Cause, cracked head or head gasket fault. Guess, typically hydrostatic lock occurs on first crank of engine during start up.Medic wrote: might have been the source of the problem.
Freeze or frost plugs frequently rust out. If you rebuild the engine, replace all of the freeze plugs.Medic wrote:It wasn't there when I split the tractor and I can find it in the bell housing. I wonder if someone forgot to install it or if it blow out. How can I tell if the block is a loss? I'll have the crank checked at our local shop.
Since engine is on engine stand, check very carefully for internal and external cracks, breaks, faults. No obvious problems, block will need to be boiled out, have the machine shop check the block again.Medic wrote:How can I tell if the block is a loss?
