"Eye" see it, definitely. It must have been "ground" to the right size, as it is definitely a fork, er, form tool.Burger King made this for me last night, but I didn't figure anybody in my household would get it.
I guess it's some sort of threading tool on one end and a corner tool or something on the other. It's hard to make out in the picture since the whole thing is the same color, but it's got a bit of geometry to it, with beveled relief cuts and all. Not sure how well it'll hold up, but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Without the piston there wasn't anything to draw anything into the cylinder and the block had some pressure to balance it; and, yea it had some vibrations and was burning a bit oil fumes but it ran and if you didn't run the AC it would make speed on the interstate which was 55 MPH at the time.Without #3 piston and connecting rod, that engine must have vibrated like crazy. Also, I would have expected a ton of gasoline in the oil....unless it was igniting when the plug fired.
I also have this issue....
