And he is right. Except for the dino part, that could very well be made of other organisms.

You tried that shit? wtf? was it a, how to pump a pb&j through your crank bearings school project or what?

And he's right. Air is horrible on pumps. and if it wasn't pumping the oil, it might have been pumping nothing or creating some sort of a vacuum. Math could explain it. like the physics and logic in why a pump don't pump air.

Yeap. He's right. Ther is no way that you can be TOTALLY sure of everything you put on your car. there is just no way. I work on my car and just miss and forget stuff all the time. I bet you turn something up with your crank.

You like your hondah, like you like your ganja! You smoke a v8 like you smoke marijuana!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe he knife edged and did all the work while his crank was still in the engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think its pretty much commom sense to do that in a clean "environment". would anyone else leave a bunch of metal shavings on their crank then slap it on? Or wait, maybe 'tis because he put on someone elses bad bearings!!!!!!!!!

C'mon. someone do a writeup on how to suck pb&j sandwiches through an oil pump and shoot it into your catch can.

i'm sorry to say. but that was some pretty good information. except alls i gotta do now, is skip the first 5 sentences of every post you make and i can come out with a real post! woohoo! and yeah. wouldn't it seem that bearing #4 would get the least oil???
Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here
If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

Double check the oil passages on that journal while you're in there, just in case
why did you want to change to full synthetic anyways?
