So last weekend, at the Autocross my 2.4L six started making a distressing noise. It came home on a trailer, and I spend some days trying to troubleshoot it.
Intermittent pinging type noise, not consistent. Compression check was good across the board at 125, good oil pressure, and nothing else wrong I could find. Had a friend listen to it, and he thinks it is coming from the #5 cylinder. Today I drained the oil and pulled the LH lower valve cover. Nothing is out of place and everything still looks good. So I pulled the the screen off the bottom of the engine... Oh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !!! Large bits of bearing material! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) This really pisses me off because I just did the top end on this motor. So my six is down and Betty's 4 is running very poorly, because it has a worn out 2.0 in it. I pulled her 1.8 down to rebuild it. I have all the parts, just need to clean, clean, clean...... |

Ok.. now this really sucks....
With the serious demise of my six, I was working on the new motor for Betty's 914. I took the heads to Lyle Cherry to have them rebuilt, and it turns out that BOTH of them are cracked and unusable! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Bill (bandjoey) offered me a set of heads off his old 1.8L engine a while back, so Saturday afternoon I am going with him to get them. Hopefully they are usable. But I gotta say... Wayne (tat2dphreak)... you need to stay the hell away from me!!!! First, I lend you my borescope, and the Sunday after that my car eats a rod bearing. Second, I get the borescope back from you, and the next night I find out the 1.8L heads are bad. Your Bad luck is rubbing off on me!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |
