Weeelllll.. No real way to say this other than... I spun a bearing this morning
I was driving to school early this morning, driving normal.. As I was pulling into the parking lot to park I downshifted.. Then I heard a small tapping sound, exactly like an exhaust leak. When I shut my car off I heard a CLUNK sound ... After class, I came back out hoping that it was just a weird clutch noise or something.. But when I started it up I heard the dreaded KNOCK ... It was the worst sound i've ever heard in my life. I wanted to barf, cry and get mad all at the same time. I didn't know what to do!
Sooo... After getting various mechanics to come listen to it, it turns out that my rods didn't break or anything but a bearing got spun. I am just replacing the whole motor with another bone-stock motor. I'm going to keep the messed up motor, tear it apart and get it built up (assuming the block is ok).
So yeah..... this really sucks
One good thing is that I can justify my reasons for saying Helty is my best friend!!! He is helping me out so much, I can't thank him enough!! He's the best on earth!!
