Didnt you just replace that engine?

[Ste_Nova]

nope it's been in since september 2002

but the engine has bad history

got engine with 38k on back in 1998

Engine was rebuilt at 55k miles due to a valve guide cracking, gf was driving she didn't stop

then again at 67k due to oil pump failure, light didn't come on till the next morning... didn't need the light it was knocking to fuck

then it had a habit of snapping rockers.... snapping 1 a month on average for no reason!!

then this summer the head gasket went when i hit a big puddle which chasing rick :lol: might have bent rods etc tooke ages to get it started never been right since

i've been driving it with blown hg since them untill last night

[Jon_nova1]

i was p**s off.. it was 1am and i was 1/2 mile from home :P

so you only had 1/4 mile to walk could have been worse

[Jim]

Instead of putting it into 2nd and flooring it, why didnt you just take it easy? Would have saved you pushing the car 1/4 mile :|
