Yeah, so 4cfed showed us all the other day what happens to a BMW when you dont change your oil frequently. I brought my camera to work on Tuesday, thinking y'all also might like to see just how bad idiots tear up Toro zero-turn tractors...
The work order just said it 'won't start'. That's a Kawasaki KAI V-twin engine, BTW. 'KAI' means 'evolution' in Japanese. How ironic.
Jeez...People! You don't hafta use a breaker bar to tighten down an air filter! Warped, crushed, dirty, full of tiny holes from repeated cleaning...
That bimmer's crankcase contents had nothing on this nasty, burnt oil. It got so hot that even the dipstick started to melt.
Well, that explains the overheating! Lol. Note the fire extinguisher dust sitting on the carb. There's cooling fins down there somewhere. I think. Have fun digging.
Needless to say, this engine is blown. That side got so hot that BOTH valve guides slid out right of the head, stopping only when they bottomed out on the rocker arms. Pop goes a pushrod. $ 2,200.00 later (money which should have been used to buy one kickass Blasty!!), she's a runner. Ouch.
So keep your motor clean...
