I was reading another thread and a guy said that the 03/04 suffer from a problem where the aluminum pistons in the motor swell larger than the cast cylinders and end up scraping into the walls and bogging the engine down. The engine just sits there he says, worse on pullied and KB cars.
Is this true.
I have had (3 times) where at higher RPM down shifts, I wait for the other guy to go, I floor it and it bogs like a SOB. It then takes off.
Now I would imagine that if the pistons raped the cylider walls that would be it for the motor i.e. the first time is the last time.
Anyone know anything about this.
I called my tuner about my issue, he said I need plugs or I have plugged cats.
Any help is appreciated.
