Blown Engine?

[dylan]

You aren't alone. My engine blew the day after I got my 91 GSX. Connecting rod got mad at the starter so it poked a hole through the engine and bitchslapped the fuck out of it.

Haha, ya, well lets hope that it's just the timing belt. Raptor, where do you live? Also, I have like no money at all, so I couldn't really pay you that much. Call me at 612-290-1040 or PM me please. Thanks a ton guys. Noah

i think he charges like $25 for using the boroscope.... which is very very reasonable considering you will spend 5 hours taking things off and puting them back on and plus other things that you will use in order to diagnose this problem yourself.

You have no money and you bought a DSM? Well that wasnt a wise choice ;)

If you havent ever done a Timing belt change before its a pain in the butt if you dont have all the right tools. The tensioner is the worst part, so if you are looking to get it fixed it will cost you a couple hundred.... the Timing belt alone is 70-90 bucks.

Well, I am hoping it's the timing belt. It's going to a shop to get diagnosed. I could do a head swap if it comes down to it. If it's something on the bottom end....God help me. Noah

So you said in your other post that you drove the car to the shop halfway? I wouldnt drive it if I were you. You could ruin a heck of a lot more than what you did the first time.

Unless you flat bedded it there but then you wouldnt have gone 1/4 of the way...

Ya, I'm taking a risk. I just need to get it done.

Well, just talked to the shop. The shop thinks it's something on the bottom end, like a chunk (or skirt) of a piston fell off. What do you guys think?

[A//// Guy]

eh no. I dont know but they ussually dont fall apart unless maybe the psitons hit the valves so much taht it crakced or something... Im not sure.

I doubt its going to be that good.
