swarfeater 49 #1 Posted May 28, 2014 I was tilling over the weekend when all of a sudden my right leg got real hot, I looked down on oil was spraying everywhere, blown motor oh boy I thought. shut her down an popped the hood to look at the damage, nothing but oil everywhere !! a closer look and I saw the dip stick up out of place, put it back in and problem solved. I suppose I failed to seat it all the way when I checked the oil. was half a good pint low now, but fixed that right quick. lesson learned after a few skipped heartbeats ..

Fordiesel69 271 #5 Posted May 28, 2014 I have a better one.........have a honda power washer, and checked the oil, but did not scew in the dipstick tight enough. Had it sitting near my dad's brand new 2003 ford excursion. Thankfully, I happend to look up and saw the entire rear quarter panel have a dark color on it. It blew out 50-75% of the oil all over the side of the vehicle. The cleanup was next to impossible, and I had to re wax the whole side of it before he got home. Took 3-4 hours worth of cleanup. Glad your engine survived, it sure doesn;t take long to burn the rod out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
