The bitch

Post by Adrian »

Hey guy this is my story....
i bought my sx last year september for 32 000, had the car for a month spent abit on the motor to keep her running
Next thing i was messing aroung and my big ends went screwd up the conrod and crank
I took the crank to a specialist he said it fine cut her and gave it back.
During this time i bought a new head forr R2500 new arias pistons, rods and turbo from mr tubo

2000km all bearings went....
took the motor to Power motors they said i need a new crank..
They sleved the motor rebuilt it used arp studs on the mians and head studs

finaly got the car running 2months ago

Thats very specific.... :?
Power is nothing without control,
Control is not fun without power.
Traction is over rated. :twisted:

lol, yeah i guess..

the reason im asking is that it always seems to be number 4 big-end that goes first..specially when driven hard.

lots of people around the world have in times past speculated that the ca18det has some sort of lubrication flaw causing this, i myself have twice on my original engine run number 4 big-end..
