Just so long as crashy pulls through. Hips can be an issue with bigger dogs.
My mums pooch had to go because of rear end issues in the end. Cars can always
be fixed, though the expense always sucks...

Cheers,
Kim.

I'd sell my studio if it meant the difference between being able to put a
fix on Crash or not....and I'm deadly serious about this. Luckily, times are
good and this isn't won't be the case, but I really wouldn't even think
twice about it. He's my buddy..

So many dogs need major surgery these days, especially the ones who are
pure-breeds, or close there-to.

You own two of the world's biggest lap-dogs, Deej.

What does "sucked a valve" mean?

> What does "sucked a valve" mean?

It's an old Texas generality meaning "I'm not sure WTF is going on until I
look but copuld be either a broken valve, burned valve, a worn or broken
camshaft, bent or worn out push rods bad hydraulic lifters or some
combination of all of the above. It could be even worse.....crankshaft woes.
All fluid levels are normal, but when I accellerate it sounds like a small
jackhammer is doing a number under the hood. It gets louder until I get to
between 2500 and 3000 RPM, then it stops when the automatic tranny shifts,
then it stops....then when the RPM's have dropped below 2500 RPM, it starts
again. I haven't noticed any power loss, but it's not good, whatever it
is............so for now, it's a sucked valve. I did notice it blowing a
little bit of blue smoke this morning, but it was cold and I was thinking
condensation.

;oP

Got a oil pressure gauge on that Honda? You might also check the harmonic
balancer, make sure it isn't trying to spin off the crank and into the
radiator (ack!). As I recall my ex had one of these SUV's and it started
puffing blue at less than 100k, and apparantly ( her ex wrecked it for
her... long story ) those motors have a bit of a history with oil pressure
and spun bearings when I started asking around.

Hopin for the best man,

It may well be spun bearings. I did that to a Mercedes once and the sound is
sorta familiar (shit......I'd forgotten about that, but I'll bet'cha that's
what it is. It's got 143000 miles on it. I really like this old truck. It's
the perfect size for my needs and gets great gas mileage. The pirates down
at the shop where I took it told me that a new engine costs $6800 plus 20
hours @ $70.00 per to install it. He said he could get me a short block for
$4000.00. I've already found a long block for $2800.00 (I return the core in
the shipping crate) with a 3 year warranty. I've also found another one with
40K miles for $1300.00. I know that there are other issues that *always*
come up and that it's always a crapshoot to do this, but this puppy is paid
off and I like it better than the new trucks I've driven recently (Dodge
Durango and some Ford thing that I can't remember the name of). Dropping $3k
to get a few years more out of this truck would be fine by me. I've not
really spent anything on it in 3 years other than for routine maintenance.
I know guys in this town who can literally yank the engine and install a
rebuilt engine in 8 hours. They are the best of the best and are on
permanent retainer to maintain multimillion dollar engines that power the
big Halliburton equipment that is used in drilling and completing gas wells.
One of these guys has a complete machine shop and could probably just fix it
better than it was when it was new. He also repairs farm equipment (those
giant, incredibly expensive harvesters/combines/bailing machines) and just
abount anything you can think of. He's got it all and could repair something
like this blindfolded.
