Re: Chris's Evo
So the timing belt tensioner tool broke off with the previous owner and he left it in there.. The piece ended up falling down and lodging it between the BS belt and Crank trigger plate bending it to the point it was making that noise..
Ron took apart the engine and everything was good except he said that the previous owner must have ran it low on oil at some point and the rod bearing were starting to spin and it wouldnt have lasted much longer..
In the end I ordered up rods and pistons and the entire timing side will be replaced and the motor will be like brand new! I should get the motor back sometime next week!

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there with those rods!

Still, better than a hole in the side of the block

Its not all that bad Aaron.. Now I will have a low milage evo with a brand new motor and I will have known the entire history from here on.. and I'm not throwing a huge turbo or anything at it so it should last for a long while. I hope If anything I would do a evo 9 turbo for the next step up on the turbo side. but that isn't going to happen unless I can find a good condition turbo for a good price. I'm having a transmission shop clean my oil cooler as thats what Ron told me to do and also take my turbo to a shop and have them open and clean/inspect it to be safe. Ron is taking care of everything else.

Re: Chris's Evo
Its just scary to see you guys take a loan and buy a newer car, then have it shit the bed and dump thousands more into it.
It should be sweet when it's done though and ready for anything so you won't have to worry.
Going stroker or higher compression at all?

Re: Chris's Evo
Ron will take care of you, he is the stock turbo master! I'd be hesitant to reuse any oiling components myself, but you didn't really have a failure it sounds like. If there is bearing material, I'd buy a new one but its more money for sure 
Good luck sir, can't wait to see it done for you.

Reason I am not selling my evo, don't want to mod a corvette with a loan on it and do what I have already done once all over. Fun cars with no loans ftw. Loans are for DD's.
But sometimes shit happens, he is doing it right though I think, keeping it rather simple. |

Re: Chris's Evo
I'm going 9.0:1 pistons and yes I didn't have a failure. There was a couple shavings but Ron said that there wouldn't be anything to worry about because all the bearings were intact with no visable markings on them.
