luminator94 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Well, yesterday for not apparent reason, my Cutty 3100 threw a rod. I was driving towards my g/f's house and all the sudden the temp shot way up, in a matter of seconds! Before I could do anything, the engine made a very nasty metallic snapping noise and quit right then and there. Rod put a hole right through the oil pan. All fluid levels were fine to, I'm just really confused to why this happened and pissed to. What I need to know is: I have the opportunity to get a different 3100 out of a wrecked 2002 GP with 23k for 750 bucks, which I think is a steal for that price. But I know that those newer 3100's are a little bit different, will it fit in my Cutty? Thanks for any replies. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I dont see why it wouldnt. I think the heads are different as well as the HP ratings. But, I think it has the same block as your older 3100. Yeah 750 is definitely as steal for that motor, especially as new as it is. What about L67????

Brian P Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 newer 3100 is a good idea, bolt right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminator94 Posted March 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Tow it to my house and I'll help you. My car insurance limit for a tow job is $100 bucks, you gonna cover the rest? I'm buying that newer 3100 tomorrow, the car WILL be running by the end of the week. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Let me know if you don't get it done by the weekend. Maybe I can make it up there to give you a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.K., I'll keep you posted, but I'll be doing it at my dad's house, so it shouldn't be to bad. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZMonte Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I think it should work. Just remember that you might have to use your stock Wiring harness. the GP wireing harness might be different so i would recomend swapping the harnesses assuming everthing is located in the same place. both are OBDII so it should not be to tough... not like swapping from OBD I to OBD II.
