Hmm, steel cylinder, steel rings (maybe even Chrome), soft aluminum shaving,

Truck has 310,000 miles. This engine has 105,000. This afternoon,
they did tap it using the grease trick and then vacuumed the
cylinder. If I get 23,000 miles more, I'll be happy.

An engine should e good for more than 130k miles

ANyway I am sorry to hear that getting somebody else to wokr on your
truck didn't work out so well. It's one reason why you should not get
emotionally attached to a vehicle.

If you listen to Car Talk, you should definitely not name the car/truck.

conversations whenever I repair one of em.
