F100 - looks like a self inflicted second death by the prior mechanic...

This Yamaha F100 died once, and was rebuilt. But it's first death certainly had a lingering effect.

Watch the video, I know it's long, but you'll get a chance to see a gewber get his hands dirty. Plus I need to up my "hours watched" on youtube to get monetized. Not a big deal, just something I'm playing with, hopefully it'll inspire me to do more fishing videos and such.

As of right now, the video is still being processed, might take a few to load. It says it's 99% done, yeah right!!!

The other theme to this video is, if you have a good mechanic, be sure to give them a Christmas present. They are worth their weight in gold. Cause the mechanic who worked on this Yamaha charged way too much money and left a whole bunch of garbage in it. This is why I do all my own work! I trust no-one to work on my stuff, if it's gonna break, it's gonna break because of me! lol

Man oh man. It's unbelievable that it ran as long as it did. it looked like the pick-up screen was completely clogged in the beginning, and you got enough out to almost make another engine lol... lots of metal and silicone...

I am much the same way. I feel I will do a better job myself than I can get done somewhere. FIL used to give me flack about changing my own oil. ( I have mine changed by the professionals). Where exactly is the Oil Change University that these professionals come from?

I see it finally finished uploading. Cool, PLEASE watch the video if you have time. Or at least start it and let it run. The end is wild IMHO.

What a mess. That’s a lot of metal

:yikes

That is unreal.

Definitely hard to beat kroil

I pieced together the broken bits and came up with this. I have no idea what part it might be that was made in the engine. It’s bigger than anything there and it’s got rotation marks that don’t make sense inside this motor. Any ideas. A thrust bearing is only a half bearing.

This is a thrust crankshaft bearing. This is the only thing I can find that spins in the same rotational direction of those witness marks on the "parts" I found inside the oil pickup tube and oil pan.

Wow that thing is mangled

I don't think thats the part. I don't know what the mangled part actually is. Have not figured it out yet?

What ever part it used to be sure grenade'd to get all the metal fragments. Holy Cow!!!

It certainly got hot. Looks to be pretty hard material also

It's weird material, like spring steel. Material like binder clips. I wonder if it was the backing for bearing material. I really have no clue. Any you can quote me!

String it together and give to wife as bracelet. :biggrin Merry Christmas :santa

If I had to place it . I would say metal seal for a shielded roller bearing. That being said I do not believe that motor has such an animal in its original configuration. It is safe to say I also does not have bearings made by Ford

Oh come on. It’s obviously the auxiliary throw out bearing. The internal regulator of the verneer effect. Sits just under the stalk of the infidibilium. You want some verneer effect don’t yah ?
