. Were picking up a full long block tomorrow. Yes, this car is a money pit. But once finished, it should be completely badass. And yes, that ticking we herd was the rod knocking. The turbo seals are blown, and this blocking was pouring oil, not leaking. For some strange reason I wanted the motor to blow, just so I can throw a rebuilt one in there so I know it's a fresh engine that will last. The main thing on these cars is preventative maintenance. Since I bought the car, I've been doing maintenance on it. I didn't cheap out on parts, got the best I could afford. Keep in mind, I'm a college student on a budget.
the timing belt on the new engine is new along w/ the belts and even a new water pump(for real this time). we're still taking the whole thing apart though and he's getting and HKS metal head gasket too. idk if he's planing on upgrading the cams and what not right now though.
they made me laugh too, that's why i posted them. I dont even understand what you're trying to get at w/ the first paragraph though. And i don't understand why you continue to post here either. And posting in this thread isn't getting you anywhere either
