turn the crank or buy a new one?? That is the question. Stock 1.7. A driver , not a hot rod. Reliable , inexpensive, not fast.

PM me if you want more info- I work there part time To answer the first question , both myself(old shade tree mech) and my son (factory trained Porsche and now factory trained Ferrari tech ) hear that little old rod knock. Not bad yet, but its there.... And I know exactly why. If machining prices are that cheap here, I'll just get the crank ground. The rest of the motor is still running fine. It was my daily before The tranny took a dump and I started down the slippery slope of rustoration!! |
