pfrederi 20,992 #1 Posted 4 hours ago Loaned a Charger 12 to my nephew a year and half ago. Came home yesterday piston does not go up and down any more. He didn't hear anything. Guess I have a new project. Got the engine off the tractor draining, it no glittery stuff in the oil. Will be interesting to see inside. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
