fed up with my car.. need help

ZoomZoomMFer · December 14th, 2010, 12:04 AM

indeed it does. Actually went up there today to drop off my xpipe, and talked to jake for a bit. Every thing was going good, found out it was leaking so much coolant because everywhere there was supposed to be silicon to seal the heads, valve covers, seals, etc. there wasnt. So everywhere it could leak out, it was. So while i was there they were in the process of taking it apart to seal everything up.

So i left, not but 10 minutes down the road i get a call saying he wants to show me something. So i went back and he shows me the oil pickup. There was metal shavings in the pickup screen...........

Weird thing is, is that he checked all the rod bearings in front of me and they all looked new with no wear in them at all. So he was gonna check the pistons and cylinder walls and give me a call if he found anything. Never got a call so i can only assume that everything checked out.

Its just weird to see shavings and not be able to easily find where it was coming from. It was only a few shavings, so it wasnt much, but still kind of odd. So ill give them a call tomorrow and see if they found anything. Just hope everything checks out.

sorry for the late update, but i did call the next day and asked if everything was good. They said yea, everything checked out and they couldnt find anything wrong at all with it.

also have been talking them through email and they said the motor is back in the car and should be done early next week.

Wait, so what was the cause of the no start?

Rabid Stang · December 17th, 2010, 08:34 PM

COPS wiring was opposite of what it should of been. When they got lengthened somehow they got swapped to the wrong side of the engine harness.
