daytonboi Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ok I don't actually have the car with me at the moment I'm trying to see how I'm going to get it home. It's my aunts old car she's had it since new and maybe 5-6 years ago the block cracked. She had it fixed and now the car "hesitates and/or stalls and/or shakes and/or jerks really bad" when pushing it her words not mine. She took it to a shop and the guy told her that she bent the number 1 piston...I've never heard of such a thing. I asked her about it yesterday when I went to visit her and she said that its still driveable, but it would be hard to put it on the highway. So I would like some insight into what could be causing it and what I could do to fix it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timm Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 A bent piston? I've never heard of that happening, but I guess it's possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderw31 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Bent piston? Ummm.... no. Bent valve or rod on the number one cylinder (which she incorrectly relayed as piston)? Possibly. Really, more specific info would be helpful to try to diagnose further... what she provided is rather vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
