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. |

car is running better then ever. Why? you ask
Taking about the engine revieled that the warranty company that built my engine messed up timming very baddly. It was at least 10 to 15 degrees off from what it should have been stock. I also discovered that they rebuilt the engine from the bottom end and did not take off the head. Thus my trubo was running on a baddly timmed engine and a 190k old head gasket. With the timming put back to what it should have been i find that the car is way more responsive and less lazy then it was before. |
