Down AGAIN!

blageo23 · 08-17-2006

Brought my car to DB today to get dyno tuned and when we got it started there was that loud ticking noise again. Shane took a look at it(THANKS!) and noticed that is was lower end noise and coming from cly #3. Anyway got it home and droped the pan. It was like deja vu. Same thing happend last year at this time. Metal in the oil and oil pan. GHEY! and I wiggled the connecting rods and cylinder #3 wiggles back and forth and clunks(thats the noise).So it turn out I can build a motor worth shit. The damn thing bearly even saw boost. This one lasted me 750 mile thats 250 more mile then the last one. This Freakin sucks!!!!!!!!! Now I have to have more down time and get another engine or rebuild it again. Im soo broke right now too! I could go on for days bitchin and complaining. If anyone knows of anyone selling a 2.0 or 2.4 engine let me know ASAP.
Mike

Sorry to hear, but I had it worse then that. Plenty of people here know my story......

I have a stock 7 bolt that runs well, or we can build you an engine asap, either way

HMM. If you when through worse stuff and you car now is sweet as hell then maybe there is hope! Ive been playing with the idea of either putting it back to stock or parting the whole thing out.

Sorry to hear about the motor.
