    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

    I added about a half quart of some mystery oil ive had laying around. Its worked so far, but since its been knocking I havent been driving it much besides moving it around the yard and using it to jump start my derby car lol

    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

    Yessir, It still looked like fresh oil, no metal or coolant or gas in it either. today I started it and it didn't make any noise, drove it for 45mins, shut it off and restarted it to see if it would knock again and it didnt. I have no idea what this engines deal is lol but now im back to just...

    The P5s all came with the “updated” fsde,it’s a twin cam 2.0 that’s super similar to the Miata engine,I’m pretty sure it’s just a different head. But no worries,I’m not keeping the FSDE. I’m going to pick up a mx6 with the KLDE and 5spd,same as a probe gt from the mid 90s. I’m gonna put big cams...

    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

    Everything was tight..I think it’s just about time for this engine to go lol I noticed a little coolant leaking around the intake though so maybe I cracked another intake. Who knows,it’s too hot to keep messing with it today The trans is probably also about to go,it’s got 320k and never been...

    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

    I’m gonna check this evening hopefully. I really hope it’s something as simple as loose flywheel bolts,but I won’t be surprised if it’s something worse. I didn’t name the truck Black ******* for nothing lol

    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

    Alright so I’ve had the truck parked until about a week ago. It’s still knocking when it first starts and when it shuts down. Clutch is making all sorts of noise as well until I press the pedal. Could it possibly be loose flywheel bolts? It’s gradually getting worse. Oil pressure is still...

    Sad news..a tree fell on the wagon,so it’s getting scrapped along with the s10 frame..oh well,time to start on my 4wd protege5..

    87 cavalier wagon questions

    Alright so,I had a new idea. Gonna keep the short s10 frame and just get rid of the back doors on the wagon. Gonna try to make a decent looking back window that isn’t too long or too tall. Went and checked to see if the 427 in the old log truck was froze up and it turned over(hell yeah!) Now I...

    I also planned on shortening or lengthening the wagon to fit the frame of the truck. If my s10 frame won’t work I also have a full-size rcsb frame I could try to make it work on
