Rob just called me. Engine let go this morning in Stockton, on the way to the autocross. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sounds like a piston skirt broke off and trapped itself between the crank and case, and then blew its way out. Now he's got to wait for a tow truck. Ooooooh man. Poor Rob. I'm sure he'll have some pictures (with garbage cans) when he get's it back to his place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

The only things that will be reused from the old engine are the crank, heads... The external oil lines are being replaced too. The case, rods, pistons, etc. will be new. Everything will be meticulously cleaned. I am not concerned about the "oiling system". Which part of the oiling system are you concerned with? I'm not calling you a dummy but hey? What is left after you replace all that? The heads will be cleaned and refreshed, the crank will be cleaned... What system? Are you imagining some elaborate system? Nope. Just a remote filter with a line in and out.
90% + of these cars are Type IV motors. If you don't want to be called names then don't start this 6 vs. 4 crap. You're outnumbered and frankly your argument is tired. If you see a thread on the Type IV motor just move along. Quit inviting people to come play in your playground too... Your not fast, your car isn't that fast either. Britain would be fast in an '80 Cavalier with bald junkyard tires... That glory isn't yours, quit claiming it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) Back on the gas... Yesterday I dropped the BMW off at the dealership for a check. It just had the major service interval in May and I have put about 1300 miles on since. It was killing at stop light/signs so I asked them to look it over to see if something was incorrectly adjusted at the service interval. Yopu dropped me off this morning and the service manager told me to come on back, he had my fuel filter skinned open and it was full of water and gum. It was replaced at the service. Yup. You guessed it, it got some of that gas too. Road it around Lake Tahoe this afternoon and got home an hour ago. Ran like a top with the new fuel filter. |
