i went to the engine shop to see how every thing was going and guess what they found more problems 5 of the rods were in back wards the rods don't slide on the wrist pins like they should. the heads are slightly warped. so it went from a simple cam degree to a full rebiuld.....so the price i thought i was paying just quadrupled so i was worried about that so i decided to ride my four wheeler, went to my buddies house that has a track in his back yard and started to jump and i went to do a superman and when i brought my feet back my foot hit the fender and i landed on my stomach on the seat and dislocated my shoulder. so now i have to pay the medical bills and now i cant even work, and better yet I'm probably going to have to have surgery because i dislocated the same shoulder about 5 years ago. :rant:
 
shitty. sorry to hear dude. i know how u feel. my unemployment just ran up and my truck decides to not start so i know how u feel besides the injury.

get better.

i appriciate it but i need to find a 360 block or im going to part out the truck if no one wants it
 
bad things come in 3's man. sorry to hear.

on a side note, the Dr. will probably send you for an arthrogram MRI to R/O a labrum tear. a little painful, but it will show the Dr. very valuable information. to look on the bright side, just because you dislocated your shoulder, does not mean you need surgery.

i havn't got an mri yet i have to have it appoved through my insurance. but the doc says if i want to stay active that i need it done. arthroscopic bankart surgery.
 
man sorry to hear it. just park your truck for a while take the insurence off and let it sit till your back on your feet

i hate to see you sell it or worse part it out it looks too clean

hang in there bud
it can only get better
 
I had the Labrum repair surgery done about 3 years ago. I'm thinking the bankart surgery is just another name for it but not sure.
bankart is a type of labrum tear. so yes.
