OMGWTF! That sucks! How many miles were on it? That sucks some serious ass.
If you go shopping for newer stuff, you have to promise me you will at least drive an Evo!
Wow, that really sucks Brian! :( I'd also say it's time to cut your loss and move on to something that's not going to cause so much pain.

Man that sucks. I wonder if it was more oil contamination/metal to metal contact, due to the fact that your motor really seems to like to puke oil.

Nope its a supra or Vette for me. No evos... I really like the new C6's. But I did find a TTZ06 I like for the same price as the supras I'm looking at.
I thought about the stealth but with the tranny problems I'm seeing with swanny and the other black one I saw at BIR makes me hesitant.
I''m sure the oil that was getting into combustion chamber had something to do with it. It was sputtering like always, i'm thinking it just miss timed during a sputter and might have fired at on an up strock or something, I didn't have the laptop on to see if it was knocking and although it never knocked before I can't say it wasn't. But it is what it is, definetely has major rod knock. Sounds just like my old crankwalked 7bolt, kyle agreed with me.

Althought not a huge fan of either, I'd go Supra > 'Vette.

Vette. New, fairly reliable and fast stock. Supras and 3S's are the same as DSM's, you need to put money in to make them fun and then they're not reliable anymore. Plus they're old.

Cut your losses and move on, it will only get worse. Im glad I got out of DSMs, they are evil. Sorry to hear about it though... definetly not a good start to the new year.

Vette FTW. DSMs are definitely a stepping stone and its time for you to step on up. My vote goes towards GM V8 LS-Series, they are gods gift to ERF!!!
Whatever you do, good luck and if i can help in anyway i am there.
