So a little history. Have had my 94 st for over three years now. Has had two motors in it. Stock one was neglected so i replaced it with a 95 with half the miles. All the car has done to it is the basics. Short ram intake, exhaust with ebay header, dropped 4 inchs on drop zones(cheap rout i know but im happy with them. Voxx 7.5 rims running 205/40-17s. I love thos car. Cant believe i almost got rid of it for a genesis coupe. Havent done anything to the car in the past year because i bought a bike. But now im back in the car game and ready to spice her up. Have considered many options on what i could do to make then realiable eco friendly cheap slower then a single cam civic motor some pep. Yes ive gone over the 3sgte and 3sge swaps. Honestly there not for me. I almost turbos my car 2 years ago but lacked funds and patience. So the other day i took a drive up to virgia to visit a fellow 6gc owner(or have a one. Hes parting his car). I pics up some goodies from him for a good price. Dont wanna spoil anything. Pics will be up soon on what i got and what my intentions are.

This update is not good. Pulled the pistons and crank. Here are some pictures. Self explanatory.
This is cylinder number one. ![]() This is number two. ![]() And this my friends, is number three, the devil. ![]() Anyone notice anything missing? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you havent guessed yet, cylinder number three had no bearing for the rob cap. I couldnt tell you if it was even there to begin with. The cap was moving back and forth very loosely when i was loosening the bolts. Sure enough, nothing on the inside but a F***ed up crank and rod cap. Looking at all the other bearing its clear this motor starved of oil. Im pretty sure the moron who opened her up last didnt know and didnt care what they were doing. Could be why they decided to sell the car to a guy who knows nothing about cars and of course is going to buy it just because it was turboed. Dont know how im going to resolve this issue, was hoping to get this motor in my car within the next month, not looking so good now that i have to either machine the crank or buy a new one. So if your selling a 7a crank, send me a message. |
