    Knock/tap after engine was covered with snow

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...

    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

    I’m about positive my 2.0 has a warped head and bent valves. I got it from a friend that bought it for 100 bucks,the PO said he drove it hot a few times. So we changed the head gasket and timing belt and everything,forgot to put it in TDC then turned it over :/ I really like that sunbird...

    87 cavalier wagon questions

    Alright so the idea changed again..I have a 91 s10 that’s rotting away body wise,so I’m gonna rip the doghouse,cab and bed off,put the cavalier on the s10 frame,body it,channel it,bag it,most likely throw the 427 in it and rake the top with a big canvas sunroof. Gonna pretty much make a “modern”...

    95 suburban puking trans fluid

    Right?? Turns out she ran over a fence post and it smacked the pan,left a tiny little ding with a tiny puncture wound. Found a pan in the garage and used a generous coating of RTV and got that heap out of my driveway lmao

    95 suburban puking trans fluid

    She bought the truck like 2 months ago and said it’s been leaking since before she got it. None of the trans fluid looks or smells burnt,and it had reverse and didn’t need extra throttle to move until yesterday. Which I was just assuming was low fluid. It definitely leaks fluid out while it’s...
