So i tried doing this myself yesterday, and it was a no go. I did it twice and first time it sounded amazing at idle and sound really bad at 2k, then redid it and it was a little rougher at idle and got bad about 2200 so I am over this shit and am now willing to pay someone to do it today, I know its superbowl day but Im told that if you know what you're doing it shouldn't take more then an hour. And I am with out a car currently and need one to get to clackamas tomorrow morning for a certification class thats only once a month. I don't have a job currently and this class will get me one. but I have to get there, and can't with out a car, yeah no buses go out that far... Please Someone help me :(

rod bearing?

Idk I'm just gonna tow out to my house cause I got roadside and use the shift linkage on the ix to fix what's wrong with my eta and just put the ix in the garage until I face the money to get all the parts I need to rebuild the whole engine, or just try to find another motor...

[cbake82]

The shift linkage is the same right?

So i talked to the Guys over at Mike O'Hara Service, and he said maybe rod bearing or something but hard to tell due to not being able to hear it. But I think Im just gonna remove my head and go through the whole head and take it completely apart and see if anything is broken and then I might as well do the other things I need to do. Oil pan gasket, and all new bearings in the lower end, look at the crank, rod bearings, new pistons and rings, head gasket and then go from there depending on what everything else looks like. :crazy:

[cbake82]

[AbeSonic]

[Matt-B]
