Figured this'd be interesting - CSC

As we all know, I'm an LQ1 humper. So I was ecstatic when I saw THIS come into our school's shop. We're doing the rear main seal and timing belt. The car is rust free underneath and needs a bit of odds and ends work. Fortunately, the woman who owns it loves the car and is in the process of having it restored.

Very nice. The body looks to be in really nice condition and is clean. The top on the other hand needs to be replaced. Do you know how many miles are on it?

Posted

Cool , nice looking vert.

 

You sure its the rear main leaking and not the dist o-ring?

 

Thing needs a top, she's shrunk up quite a bit.

I believe it's around 107,000 miles. The entire engine's being gone over so if it's not the rear main seal, we'll find it before the car leaves. The owner of this car has no problem with however long it takes, so long as it's done right... God I'd love to have this car. XD

I thought I had a rear main leak on mine turned out to be th oil pump o ring.

 

That is a very clean car. That top could be replaced.

...I thought you said that your automotive teacher won't let you work on LQ1s and called them "ABOMINATIONS" .....

Posted

He wouldn't let me work on MINE. This is the car of a PAYING CUSTOMER. He still calls it an abomination and thinks the owner insane for wanting to restore it.

Well, we only get the shop every other day. Today was mainly about getting the engine unmounted from the subframe and removed, and bolting the subframe back into the car, transmission still attached.

Haha, was thinking the same exact thing. A lot of work for that oil pump drive seal.

They are pretty retarded engines... I'm not saying I don't love them.

I love them anyway. People should take care of them better and maybe they would not have so many problems. Doubtful though lol. Speaking of the LQ1's, I need to get my oil leak fixed on mine:lol:

My teacher once argued with me over it. In the middle of the argument, he said the LQ1 was crap. I pointed behind him to a 2200 Corsica on a lift and said "No. THAT'S crap." He replied "No. That's a workhorse." I just stared at him like he was on crack.

Well he has a point... a 2.2 is much more accepting of abuse than an LQ1. MUCH more accepting.

 

Don't get abuse and fun mixed up, the LQ1 has been proven that it can handle a beating, just not neglect. I neglected the shit out of my '94 cavalier and that car would not die.

LQ1's will go a long time as long as its gets oil changes and timing belts

My LQ1 originally went 40,000 miles without so much as an oil change. What killed it was an unrelated timing issue.

40,000 miles without an oil change isn't something to brag about. That's just stupid.
