Going to daytona beach had a rod bearing go. Two of my buddies in the car were weight lifters so we drained the oil in a cooler and threw the beer and ice in the trunk of the renault up front. then we all pushed it up on the side and removed the pan with vice grips. Cut a strip of belt leather and bolted it in the rod cap of the offending rod and used folded paper bag for a repair on the pan gasket and rolled it back on its wheels poured the oil back in filtered thru a tee shirt and fired it back up. 3 hours on the side of the road. thank god it ran cause we was out of beer. It had a little sprinkle trail of oil but we made it to spring break and put maybe 30 miles on it before the trip back home,70 miles. Went thru a case of cheap oil but we didnt have to walk. I think the car was a mid 60,s renault. wish they were still that simple.
