so i was wondering if anybody would be willing to help me with my car or just check it out in person and maybe be able to tell me whats wrong with it cause i have posted in another forum and got some ideas but nothing solid and was wondering if anyone could help me out maybe take a look at it and point me in a direction so i can get my dsm running again.

heres the url to my other forum about what happened if it doesnt work let me know and i will just post all the info in here.

Did you end up pulling your oil pan and checking to see if the bearing failed? I'm willing to help out as much as I can.

sounds like what happened to me and my jeep.

........TICk,TICK,TICK...............BOOM!

Looked good on the outside, I dropped my oil pan and it was like a pinata filled with metal,

Drop the pan and see what goodies you got in there.

hate to rain on your parade, but from what you are describing it sounds like a rebuild is right around the corner.

So did you drop the pan?

no not yet ive really been trying to find time to do it but have been really busy but i will assure you i will let you know once i drop it.

my first 420a · 09-21-2008, 02:31 PM

ok so heres the deal, i didnt drop the pan, but my dad decided we should start with the simpilest thing first he said it was the starter. so we took that out and turned out that was bad so i got a new one and put it in, and still wouldnt start so my dad thought we should check the spark plugs to see if they were good. and we pulled them out and two of them looked like someone took a hammer to the top of it and tried to make a nickel out of it. so im guessing you guys were right when you said it was time for a rebuild lol. dang this is gonna suck but will be good at the same time.

my first 420a · 09-21-2008, 05:40 PM

heres some pics of the spark plugs.

hawaiianice99 · 09-23-2008, 12:02 PM

Oh ya definately time to rebuild, all that broken spark plug shit is totally the problem.

I bet you got some real goodies in the oil pan if you drop it!!!

* This is why you change everything out when you buy a car.

my first 420a · 09-23-2008, 02:41 PM

if you had to rebuild what would you do to it?

MY1GDSM · 09-23-2008, 04:20 PM

depends on how much $ you have or if you plan doing anything besides a basic rebuild

hawaiianice99 · 09-23-2008, 06:02 PM

>You can buy a rebuild kit or

>You can buy a rebuilt motor

It really depends on how bad the damage is too, drop the pan and let us know.

95gstchris · 09-23-2008, 06:10 PM

From that spark plug it show your valve stem is either broken or totally bent.By the way how much boost were you feeding your car at the time it happened

my first 420a · 09-23-2008, 10:19 PM

well i dont have alot of money but i dont want to rebuild it back to stock if i can afford it. it doesnt have to be anything to special but just want a little something.

where can you get a rebuild kit at?

i think i was running somewhere along the lines of 18-19 pounds of boost. i know thats a little high but i just never thought to adjust it.

MY1GDSM · 09-23-2008, 11:24 PM

well being you say in you profile injector size&Fp unknown with a Maft you atleast have logger right...? get a FP re-wire it & also Look a your injectors to begin with....& what is you maft set @? also ditch that NB A/F gauge and get a WBO2 if you can aford it.

hawaiianice99 · 09-24-2008, 12:22 PM

was that 18-19 on an all stocker? Thats pretty high.

If you want to do it the cheapest way, just go to a junkyard and pull one out of another.
