Z24 down...
Monday, December 18, 2006 1:07 PM
Well guys and girl, first of all, my brother is takin' the computer with him when he moves out the first of the year.

So, i'll have to find a way to get online somewhere else to keep in touch and all that fun stuff but...

I just found out that my motors is shot and need to replace it.
The mechanic who looked at it said a new motor would be 900 plus 900 for labor.
If anyone can help me out ( i can only post 11 more times this month) let me know
My cell is 863-604-7742. I hope I don't lose this car.

The mechanic said that due to high rpms, the piston broke and there is low compression in cylinder 2 with NO compression in cylinder 4.

I don't know what else to do but get some money to get another engine installed. Hope i can find a way to the meet the 30th in Orlando but i doubt it. Sorry everyone.

Wish this hadn't happened to me but things happen.

sorry to hear bro. too bad your way too far from me. i'd gladly help. since the motor needs replaced, i'd get a new one and build it insted of putting a stock engine in, unless the car is your daily driver. and 900 is a good price for a new or rebuilt engine. labor isn't too bad either

If you did the work yourself I'd say set aside about $300 @ most and a nice month!

that wouldn't be a bad idea to find an engine and save me some money but havin' some of you guys help me put it in. a guy in north carolina will sell one for 750 and that doesn't sound too bad.

i'm just really bumbed out about all this and wish it hadn't happened when it did.
