Billgluckman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'll know soon. Rockauto shipped my parts from a few different locations so I'm still waiting on some stuff but the lower intake is installed. I'm hoping everything else arrives before the weekend.

Imp558 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 If you need to change the blower oil it's at the dealership. Probably not a necessity as of now since you have doubts about the bottom end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billgluckman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yeah I've gotta see how this plays out. I ran the engine before pulling the intake and didn't hear anything abnormal but I also didn't let it run too long. Once the oil is at operating temp it might be a different story. I may have all my parts tomorrow. I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix1 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 If it’s got a spun rod bearing you’ll hear it regardless of what the temperature of the oil is. I think that’s the only real place there’s bottom end problems. Besides chipped pistons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billgluckman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ive seen more than one engine show bearing clearance issues only when warm. Colder (thicker) oil can mask the problem. vipmiller803 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billgluckman Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Everything is back together, engine still ran rough. Diagnosed 2 bad injectors, exchanged bad injectors with the bigger wrong injectors that I talked about earlier. Engine idles much better, I've ran it at least an hour now with no coolant in oil.

Billgluckman Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Also diagnosed low speed fan not working(used scan tool to command high speed on while running). Everything looks promising so far and I'm in this car at jut under $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
