Somewhere,
Arkansas
Bought my eclipse gsx, bought a oil change (Pennzoil high mileage) 204K miles.
bought some sea-foam on sale for the gas tank. The genius at advance auto suggest putting a quarter bottle in the oil when i change it along with Lucas to solve my lifter ticking noise.
sound started ticking even louder while idle, while on my way to work the next morning the wrist pin sheared off number 1 cylinder causing a drastic drop in hp. i was trying to get up a hill and pull in somewhere then the rod somehow got rolled up with the rear balance shaft causing the oil pump pulley to lock up knocking a 2 X 4 hole in the back of the motor.
when the oil pump & pulley locked up the timing belt quit spinning ( thank god ) but the crank kept spinning and literally destroyed the gates timing belt i installed a week prior.
Also when the header was glowing bright red when i popped the hood, it was around 0645 in the morning. (had a highflow Magnaflow cat on a stock exhaust Wtf?)
i will never be using sea-foam ever again in any vehicle i own. (at least never in the oil)
Any Thoughts? bad experiences? i am not blaming this solely on sea-foam because i did have what a thought was a tick but was a knock.
it just wasn't that bad until i did this.
Rubber side down!
