So first Item, ROAD TEST. Seems pretty simple and straight forward, get in the truck and drive somewhere.
I chose to take my daughter on a daddy/daughter road trip. Got a hotel room near the BMW dealer, rented a U-Haul and loaded up the 2016 GS 1200ADV, and headed south west to Sturgis to go get the bike upgrades done at the dealer and take the kiddo to a nice hotel with a water park.
Got driving across the wonderful state of South Dakota, and was absolutely impressed with the diesel, the 5 speed and having the Wink Turbo. Ample power, first time I could accelerate up a large hill, while pulling a trailer no less.
We got half way to the hotel when I noticed the oil pressure seemed to be getting lower, so we pulled into a gas station, filled her up with diesel and checked the oil. Indeed the oil was low, like 2 quarts low. I looked at the front of the U-haul trailer and there is the oil, all over my bike and the trailer. I went and dug around and found the oil was coming off the block near the turbo. Did a little further investigation and found a loose connection on the turbo return and tightened it.
We proceeded on our trip.
Arrived in Sturgis and dropped of the BMW and the dealership was so awesome, they let me store the U-haul trailer on their overflow lot.
Had a great time with the Kiddo at the water park. The next morning, more waterpark fun then we had to go get the bike. Picked up the trailer, loaded the bike and headed out.
We had to stop at a nice hill and sled a bit before lunch. Then we continued on our way home.
First rest stop for the kiddo, I checked the oil and to my dismay it was low again. I also found the return was still leaking, or so I thought. After digging around again and really getting my face and camera off my phone behind the turbo, I found it was the turbo oil feed line banjo that was loose. I had to remove the oil dipstick to get access to this and in the process I dropped a washer. I could not find the washer, on the ground, in the engine hung up on something... no where. I proceeded with out it. Reassembled everything and got ready to roll. I finally located all the leaks and tightened them down. There was a serious momentum shift in my mind. I remember thinking things are really coming together.
Three miles later tragedy strikes.
Out of nowhere the most horrible clank and grinding sound started. It sounded like a metal bearing was bouncing round in the oil sump off the crank. I immediately thought , that farking washer fell in the hole after removing the dipstick and is now in the oil pan bouncing around. FML.
Pulled into the next gas station and its below freezing, the rig sounds like crap and I start to check it out and calm the kiddo down from freaking out.
The noise sounds like its coming from the sump or the transmission but its so horrible I shut it down and evaluate my ability to fix it on the side of the road with a trailer on the truck, my daughter in the truck and night rapidly approaching.
I have little choice, call the insurance company and set up a tow. Its nice having full coverage on a older truck sometimes. lol
We have to wait for the tow truck to come from where we left from, 90 miles away. Two and half very cold hours later, the truck arrives and tows my truck and trailer to a hotel all the way back in Sturgis.
This picture is the next morning before our walk to get breakfast and work out just how we are going to get all this home.......
. They should be here next day or so.
I got the vacuum lines needed to install but then hit another wall. I found that the VSV that controls the flow of the vacuum to shut in the butterfly valve that snuffs the engine is actually 24vdc. I thought since I bought a 12vrunning engine, it was also 12v. NOPE!!
U-Haul, rented a truck big enough to stuff the bike trailer in the back and pull a car hauler, dropped the car hauler next to the 60 and picked up my bike in the bike trailer and went to the recovery center and asked them to stuff the trailer in into the U-haul truck. Which they obliged me. Then I went back to the hotel with the Recovery Guy and installed the car hauler and he put the 60 on the trailer for me.
