phantomFE3 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 im sorry bro, there comes a time in every mans life where he has to deal with shit like this, but for me this would be an oppertunity to brag, and get a new engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I guess somebody doesnt have the fastest Z34 anymore.......... To be serious, thats a tough break, if it happend by accident, I take pitty on you. If you were doing something crazy/stupid, then maybe you deserved it. All in all, tough break, no one wants to see such a nice car die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeZ34 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 She sounded kind of sick when we you were here.. Oh well, even more of a reason to build it up to be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 That sucks man. Truthfully, if it was me though, I would be thrilled, because I knew it was time for a bigger, badder engine. Don't get too down, because now you get to build up another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 That sucks man, but at least she put in some good 1/4-mile times before she let go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMonte1997 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 that really sucks Aaron.. what exactly happened to the motor? i hope you are able to rebuild the LQ1. whatever you do.. DON'T go to the dark side (ie L67 swap). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 That sucks man. Truthfully, if it was me though, I would be thrilled, because I knew it was time for a bigger, badder engine. Don't get too down, because now you get to build up another one. you gonna pay for it??? ok here goes. i guess it was just done racing, at 130k miles i guess it just didnt want to go to 7k anymore. my friend got a 1991 TSi Talon, turbo 2.0L 4 banger. well he was all making up crap and sayinbg how fast it is. well he asked me to race him, i said no cuz i dont race things that i will just slautter. so we went to the movies, and on the way back i decided id set him strait on wats fast and wat isnt. so we ran from 40 to 110. i had 5 car lenghs when i shut it down. so i pull to the gas station, and it is just scary. it still runs, just sounds like a diesel with a loud clanking. so i have my dad check it out, he just sighs. it is so embarrasing to drive home and sit next to a ricer when your cars motor sounds that bad. it still runs and has the same power. turns out a spun a crankshaft bearing. i dunno what im gonna do, but either way i get to drop my motor. i might go underneath and replace the bearings from the oil pan or i might go all out and get new everything and have head work done, but thats more $$$ i dont have. and my dad thinks that i may have broken my crankshaft too. so thats what happened, we will be rebuilding it.

ShockTherapy Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 yeah, that sucks, i was there with my L27 not too long ago.... 2 connecting rods, and bits and pieces of crankshaft in my oil pan... hope all is well and not too much $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 my cams are fine, they actually look good too, my vavles are fine, the top half is all good, just the crqankshaft isnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I don't think you can drop the oil pan without first dropping the subframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 shawn is correct, but its not that bad a job, took me 4 hours to do my oil pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95GTP Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Look into a crate motor and start with that. If I had the cash and was in your shoes that seems the way to go. ==95GTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Aaron sorry to hear that. Hope everything works fine. If it makes you feel better, I am publicly asking people to pray, light some candles or sacrifice a baby goat. Robby and Supreme_Style21 both scacrificed a goat and possum for me and my ticket troubles went away!! :-) Man i really do love these boards cuz you not only get support and condolensce from some great guys, but also some kicking-while-your-down from some real assholes...j/k (well, not really cuz its the truth, but) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 your right but i am going to pull the engine first. at the same time im gonna paint the engine bay and clean it up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbtk2 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Yeah that definately sucks. I hate to see it happen. Hopefully you will get it fixed soon so you can brag about how you fastest N/A 3.4 W-Body some more. (That is a hint that we are getting sick of hearing it) Well, on the bright side, you can fix the engine with all built up internals, although it will cost you a few $$$. A ClubGP member just did this on friday: He is pretty sure the cylinder 6 injector went bad causing this. I will tell you right now that your engine is not that bad...because this is BAD.

god910 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Aaron, I didn't kill a kitten, but I beat a pussy for ya. Good luck w/ it. Think of it this way, if the guy in the pic about was driving a Honduh, the piston would have exited the block. I can't tell you how often that happens. You'd be surprised.

SmokesGTP Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I guess somebody doesnt have the fastest Z34 anymore.......... Too bad, but seriously I feel bad for you dude. I'd be so fuckin pissed if that happend to me. I guess it stood up to some abuse for a pretty long time though based on some of your posts. You'll get it figured out I'm sure. I guess my stock auto is faster at any altitude (inside joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Stop racing these cars every chance you get. You frequently change the oil? 130k to spin a crank bearing is premature to say the least. Honestly if you don't have the cash, just pull the engine, and replace the bearings. Dont touch anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
