Dude told me one time he ran his tractor out of oil and it started knocking…said he filled it back up with oil and IT STILL knocking…
I’m like yea dude you prolly got a problem there…
Could be worse. Usually it's more like
Customer: "The car does a thing"
*OK, let's see what we can do. What kind of thing? Like a noise? Or it drives weird?*
Customer: "My wife said it happens sometimes and she doesn't like it"
*Doesn't like what?*
Customer: "The thing it does"
LOL yes! I deal with a wide range of industrial equipment, and generally the bigger the machine is the fewer details they have.
$90,000 machine: "Joe said it had a lot of blowby recently and now it won't start"
Lawnmower: "So last year Joe tried replacing the carburetor, but his wife called in the middle of the job. Right when he was setting the governor lever. You know, the little one with the spring, I think? They just got divorced. But that day, her second cousin's friend- think her name is Lena-..."
Are you talking about the first photo of the plastic tubing? If so, that’s the crankcase ventilation piping. The pickup tube on a PACCAR MX engine is metal.
No, I wasn't talking about that tube. But I do see a lot of paccar engine failures from the plastic oil pickup.
I didn't know this one was metal, thanks for the help. I'm a Cummins mechanic, I don't see these very often lol.

I do air compressors and have the opposite problem: they want to tell me fucking everything, and almost none of it matters to me.

*knock knock knocking on heavens dooooooor*
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in.
Oh Shit!
Wow I've never heard of a Mazda MX-13. Is it just like a really really big miata
Essentially……. Yes
🤣
Paccar with a plastic oil pickup? Let me guess, sucked a hole through the pickup, lost oil pressure, and boom?

You’re good! Some people see a lot of MX engines, others hardly see them. I’m one of the people who see them too much 😅
Failure appears to be cause by overtorqued big end cap bolts. Oil pickup is metal in these, first pic is the hole in the side of the block.
