wtf have i done?

[FoSHO99]

well that makes 99 problems... luckily its tax season and i have 2 really good friends ASE certified. One owns a 5 bay shop.. perhaps time for a cam? any suggestions?

I would find out why it blew in the first place before spending more money on mods. Find a good tuner in the area or next investment to learn yourself.

we posted at the same time.... that was my next question.

Look at it ths way
now you need a bottom end/short block might aswell cam it id say s1x but im bias
get it put all back together right get it tuned properly and scan scan scan
Rebuild it better faster stronger

Same thing happened to me with my grand am. turns out i was low on oil and it threw a rod. I still drove it for a few more days then it finally took a crap on me.

 

[gtpinsc]

wasnt oil in this case... happened a half mile from my house, barely got in the driveway.

That thread i posted "why am i knocking" apparently i was ya think? On to my next question.... WHY? stock pulley, open cone intake, 3 in catted DP.

how cold was it outside?

 

[gtpinsc]

not too cold.. the high today was 60... so im guessing 55ish degrees.

 

[kfish]

on a stock pulley with your mods, you shouldnt have been knocking. you had premium gas in right?

 

[gtpinsc]

93 always

 

[kfish]

im not really sure then. did you pull some plugs?

 

[gtpinsc]

nah... smoked a bowl and said F*ck it. My friends gonna try and pull the heads this weekend for me.

 

[blueguy]

Just pull the plugs..it is easier to find where the initial issue is.

My bet is #3 or #4

 

[gtpinsc]

ill try and pull front bank when i get off work.

 

[UR LOSN]

any updates?

 

[badbrad]

take off the vlave covers..it almost sounds like rocker arms to me,,,but the sound quality came out kinda ruff for me....

 

[blueguy]

^^WHAT.

It's a rod knock...trust me. I've heard it plenty of times...

 

[badbrad]

yep, ^^^i've heard it too, rocker arm in process of pulling out. 2nd sentence: sound quality, c'mon man..trust me ....i just look like this.lol

 

[Lawngoose]

Cam it!

 

[gtpinsc]

Its getting a cam definitely... i havent messed with it at all, not even pulled plugs. i have transportation to work and stuff. Waiting on w2's, im gonna do this thing proper. Expecting a large return this year and plan to dump alotta money in this POS.

Ya riiight...

My bet is you have a piston lying in the bottom of your oil pan in a million pieces. The noise you hear is a rod slapping the sides of the cylinder.
