• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    2006 Grand Prix for sale Central Virginia

    Car has 278,000 miles and was parked after two lifters collapsed and started slapping around rather than just ticking. I don't have the time or the place to try to put a junkyard motor in it, and it kills me to send it off to the crusher for $250.00 I loved this car, had it since 80K. The trans...

    Replacing the lifters on a 2006 motor with 268K on it ?

    I have what I believe to be a lifter ticking that has over the last few weeks gone from subtle and intermittent to pronounced and fairly steady and now it sounds like two of them are doing it.

After changing it I was warming the car up to check it, after it gotten warm and the fans had turned on and run a few times all looked well...

    Coolant leak from Timing Chain Cover??

    Here is a picture I found of the cover I have and I circled in green where the leak is. On the car it seemed to be in the middle of the cover as I have only taken off the hose and the pump, but it appears it is a failure of the gasket between the cover and the block where the water passage is...

    Coolant leak from Timing Chain Cover??

    I have a 2006 that has just rolled over 250,000 miles, the water pump was replaced by me at 225,000. Long story short, car starts to get hot, is leaking coolant, too fast to limp it home, I meet the wrecker with new hoses for the radiator, upper and lower (originals with 250K were on it), after...
