Even though it may say like 140 there are hot spots In the block.

 

like sittin on a cold toilet seat!! lol

 

Thanks.
I've been driving in spurts watching gauge comparing to factory gauge. Factory stayed in middle until this last spurt to 230 and I stopped. Factory moved up then.

 

I feel like a dumbass. I thought I triple triple checked everything.
I'm so sick to my stomach right now.

 

It happens to the best of us... I did an oil change on an '03 Dodge diesel a few years ago.....Started it up and oil went EVERYWHERE.

I forgot to put the flippin' filter on.....

Won't forget it again!

 

Was 154 when I started
Made it to gate at 158
I turned it off.
There's a small trail at gate.didnt see it in dark

 

Well if your a tech then the customer wants a new motor, the tech fired, and free oil changes forever.

 

Yea
I almost threw up once when I saw I flooded an office in a new house that had a wet bar.ruined the wood floor.had to rip it all out.

 

Personally, I'd just as soon get fired.....from working on my own junk.....

 

good morning and late welcome!

 

I understand... I would have had it towed back to your house but you should be ok..

 

@Tacoma Mike
Well what's your professional opinion ?
What temp is damaging to these engines?
When you hear a rod fly out the case? That happen to my 72 toyota.

 

Yea
I thought I could drive it back in spurts watching temp.
I'm still at my gate. Frkn driveway is 100yds

 

Get the wife's vehicle and pull it the rest of the way in is what I would do .

time for a beer run and wifey at costco loading up and get some stuff done around the house. see you cats in a while!

 

I'm starting to think even my mechanical abilities are graded on a curve. I've made more mistakes in the past year than the previous 40.....Until recently, I'd never cross threaded a lug nut. Now TWO inside of a month. Hide the tools from me somebody.....

 

All depends if its boiling. Water doesn't extract heat when it boils. With pressure caps it raises the boiling point of water.

It all depends on the particular engine. One will be fine at 250 others will puke headgaskets. Unknown.
You caught it. You didn't keep driving. Odds are on your side..

 

god,you suck! lololol kidding of course
