Thread: found out what it is

well as i dismantle the top of my 2000 gtp i realized when i looked at the number 4 piston, something was wrong! i am expecting the bottom end to have spun a rod. i bought the car it was quiet, missed but still quiet. wont kno for sure until i get the bottom end torn apart. i am finding another engine and will be going thru the engine b4 it goes in the vehicle.

thanks all for the replies, yes the piston is in there crooked and it does not go up and down when i roll the engine over and it does not move at all when i try to move it, it is pinned in there bad, i assume it broke a connecting rod, i do see a lil spot where it hit the valve. i drove this thing home 75 miles when i bought it and i never would have thunk it, lol. i did but it knowing it probobly needed an engine, and well it was well worth it, got a line on an engine for 300, so soon i will be tearing that 1 down b4 it goes in.
