Today after the socal mini meet i went up the 405 to meet up a few homies. With my g/f tired i decided to head home for some r&r. On the way home, traveling east on the 10, my engine when by by. I was only going like 65 and I was with in my boost limits but something gave. Engine changed noise and power droped.
I drove home from western exit to calstate la jsut going slow. Any applied power cause a knocking noise. getting off the freeway it souned like it was running on either 2 or 3 cylinders. So probably blew a rod, colapsed a piston, or blew some rings. Either way im F****** up the butt now. Im just glad i was able to limp home. So soon i might actually have my trubo set up for sale. Cus if i rebuild the 5s im not truboing it. And if i swamp for a red top im not guna need the trubo. What do u guys think rebuild the 5s? If so what kind a pistons and connecting rods should i get. Compression wise and company wise, where can i find them. What else do i want Should i do a BEAMS swamp? if so what tranny should i use? Should i d a 3sgte? im so sad i think im guna cry. |

[right][snapback]353662[/snapback][/right] sorry to hear about the 5s...especially sucks that its just been rebuilt...i were you i would do the 3sgte swap...you already have so much turbo stuff...the safc 2 and injectors just go ahead put a 3s in there and boost it up...i wouldnt do the beams its so much money and its only for n/a lovers i just dont think a beams is worth the money....if u know how to build up engines a 5sgte would be awesome theres guy at mr2oc with the 5sgte and its rediculous |
