Man this shit sucks.
Alright, so like 2 months ago, right as I was finishing up building the DSM, my Neon decided to spin a rod bearing. I ordered up some new King Rod bearings for it and they showed up like 3 days ago finally. I got the neon longblock all back together and am awating an engine stand to put the motor in.
Now yesterday I am driving on my way to work and was just driving down Radio Drive in woodbury doing like 40mph after a light, decide to get on it a little bit in 3rd gear, hit 15psi, and hold onto it till about 75, look down, and my oil light is on solid color. I kill the car and coast to the next turn. Get out, check oil, its empty. Oh great, somethings fucked. Look under the car thinking maybe an oil cooler line fell off or something, don't notice anything. Go to the front of the car, and look near the oil filter area, and it appears the oil filter gasket blew out. So I take off the oil filter, and upon closer examination, the threaded part of the filter decided to pop out (like a safety tab thing) and the gasket blew out. So I walk to my girlfriends house 2 miles away and call work. My girlfriends sister gives me a ride to work.
Get to work, and just work till we close. Call the girlfriend to come and pick me up, and I grabbed a new filter and 5qrts of oil. Go back to my car, throw the new filter on there, and put oil in it. I pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it over for 15-20 seconds to build some oil pressure. Put the fuse back in and it fires right up. I check to see if it is knocking, and it doesn't seem to be, so I get back in and rev it to like 3000rpm a few times, everything appears to be good. I drive it home, and it seems fine. Come out the next morning and check my oil, its full. Go to start it, starts right up but sounds a little funny for the first few seconds. Go to drive it, get up the street, and it starts knocking motherfuckingsonofabitchfuckcuntwhoregahhhhfuckdsm 's is whats going through my head. Kill it, get out, check oil, make sure there is nothing else that would be making the noise. Nope, its fucked. Who would have though that 3-5 seconds of no oil pressure under boost would spin a king rod bearing?
So now I'm hoping on parting or selling the DSM and hopefully taking out a loan and buying a 99up Miata, and a beater car before winter. FUCK!
