I do not think JB Weld will fix that.

[Doug Hatton]

That's 4700ci, not cc... cc would be a 4.7L.

Well, that tops anything that I ever did to my SVO. Dang.

[Sean88gt]

Somebody isn't getting their core charge back.

[UserX]

A little honing and it'll be good as new.

[CRASH]

Holy missed shift, Batman !!!

Assuming they don't use syncros like semis don't I'm not sure how you could miss shift without matching rpm's.

A cat 3516 is 4210ci. 69 Liters
