Ya A small 4 dollar part just about ruined my engine today...I have an aftermarket air filter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> and it takes a plastic ring to get it a good seat on the carb. Well that broke today and made the air filter slide off. Well it slide off and lodged my acclerator cable to full when i was shiften and listen to a good song...I was full redline for about 3-6 seconds before i killed it. I fried some stuff baddd <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> At 8 this morning it looked good cuz the new engine was coming in as well as the new tranny. I knew i could get em both to last till christmas, but now im not so sure. I fried a few bearings in the engine. Doesnt hurt till like 3000 RPM's but thankfully i didnt drop a rod. Cuz that would totally suck. Just venting a little bit. Anyone know how to nurse this till christmas? I compare my jeep to a terminal patient with a while left. Now i think that patient just caught the Black Death as well...Oh well such is the Jeep life. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
