I just talked to the rebuild guy...he said he doesn't make work tickets/inventories for warranty work. He said all but 4 of the lifters looked...
No, he didn't give me a written estimate on what he was going to replace. I could try getting him to fax an invoice of his work that I can keep...
This motor rebuilder guy actually used to have a good reputation. He used to own Anderson's Machine Shop in Lewisville before he sold it and the...
Hey Fever...yeah, the shop guy seemed kinda pissed that the rebuilder would reuse parts like that, especially after having seen what the motor did...
Hey guys, just a quick update: VERY LONG story short, for those of you that don't know, I've got a '71 Mav, 302, C4...Motor was rebuilt about 9...
Acornridgeman is correct. My '71 Mav and '67 Mustang both had this on the exhaust manifold and I never had it hooked up. Winters in Texas don't...
First off, are you sure it's not any of these problems? Bad driveshaft u-joints, imbalanced driveshaft, bad torque-converter, bad harmonic...
Well, he already had the block (I have no idea what year) and is now gathering everything else to build up the new motor. At this point I don't...
He knows what vehicle the motor is going in, so I hope that he tries to keep the motor from the same era for firing order/balance/etc., but we'll...
Ok, got the news today. I talked to the motor rebuilder and he said the dipstick tube that the guys put in after the initial motor rebuild 9...
I believe that the flexplate went back to the motor rebuilder but the trans rebuilder kept the TC though. Yeah, I'm hoping that they don't start...
Well, I wasn't really getting into it much as it was probably about to shift back to third. 3500RPM isn't too far removed from the 3200RPM my car...
The trans had downshifted (from a lower RPM/speed) and was up around 3500 RPM when it threw the rod. It's an automatic.
The guy who rebuilt the motor is only picking up the motor...so he shouldn't see the transmission itself....but the mechanic who rebuilt the...
:( Yep, had a hole in my oil pan. The shop guy said it busted the block, crank, cam and starter. Not good. I hope to find out within the next...
The trans had just downshifted to 2nd under mild acceleration and the rod busted at around 3500RPM or so. The reason I know is because my speedo...
Could a wrong flexplate causing the vibrations I was feeling have caused the rod to go?
Nevermind. Driving home last night and the car threw a rod. :( Hopefully the guy that rebuilt the motor will cover it under his warranty like...
Inside the car, it doesn't sound bad when at the RPMs where it's really vibrating badly. I'll try setting the RPMs under the hood and then go...
It definitely shakes worse as I rev it up. It's noticeable at around 1000 RPM and is at it's worst between 2000-2500 RPM. At around 2700 RPM it...
