[s-cars] History repeats itself......

[Keith Maddock]

Well (on the 7th work day it has been there) the shop finally got
around to getting the oil pan off to see what happened (again) to the
S6...

... and it's the same thing as before, #2 bearing toast , and the crank scored.

Haven't miked the crank yet to see if it's fixable with a small turn
and larger bearings, but at least I have 4 spare rods (though I'll
have to discuss with the main man about what will be done to balance
that one with the rest as I paid a bit extra before to have the all
the rotating bits balanced...)

Anyone have an oiling diagram or schematic of the AAN to perhaps help
me help the shop find the obstruction?

If it was a general starvation issue, then I would expect to find all
the bearings showing some wear, or the #5 one to be the one that
failed, not the #2 again....

The next real question if they can manage to put it back together by
S-Fest (or slightly before, so it can be broken in by the time I
arrive at S-Fest, since that's only a 700 mile (approx) trip...)

Cheers,
Keith
