Burnt valve on #3, both compression rings broken on #4, top compression ring broken on #8 And other than the smoke, it still ran great! The supposedly hi performance f MoPar Performance fuel pump push rod a lot of folks were ranting and raving about a few years back is mushroomed on the pump end. I bought the new one just for insurance sake back a few years ago when there was quite a spirited discussion going on about them and installed it along with a new pump. If I recall correctly, this was just prior to the Branson meet. Anyway, the old one I took out measured 3.010" at the time and the new one, MoPar P5249569 mic'd in at 3.023. I could hardly tell the difference. What a difference 9,000 miles makes!! Now, the fansy schmancy MoPar "performamce" rod is mashed down to 3.099". I think I'll put the old one back in. It's off to the machine shop in the morning to get the "rest of the story" Dave Schwandt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Chrysler300/join and select the "Leave Group" button For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylangYahoo!
