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...... |

well, fwiw, my car is running great now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I actually touched the heads so I guess my bad luck really got on them good.. like I told Leto, nothing I touch is associated with 'Win' I have a good 1.7 head you are welcome to have Lyle fix for you, too if that helps. if there's anything I can do to help you with either rebuild, just let me know, I'll be happy to do it.... if you need me to haul parts over from Wes'... no problem. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I have Bill (bandjoey) who offered me a 74 1.8L core motor he has. I am picking it up on Sat. Slits.. I appreciate the offer, but I have a 2.4T MFI core motor sitting in my garage. And I am not going to just switch out the pistons, cylinders, and heads. I am going to tear it down and rebuild the whole bottom end. There was a suggestion to have me do a thread on a six build. I might just do that! |

Clay - The mystical Phantom 914 is resting peacefully on her jack stands within 50ft of the core... and yes, I will let you see it. I know Joey lives around the corner from you, but my offer stands.
