    Hmmm... I don't remember but was it a self/Internet diagnoses that the motor was no bueno?

    It would be awesome and suck at the same time if what you were hearing wasn't the engine itself and everything is perfectly fine just needed something tightened.

    Did you check the new(er) turbo for shaft play after removing it? One thing that happened to mine was the turbo's kept breaking in the center.


    Edit: and I'd check to see what it takes for Dr. king or someone from AllPro to come over and do a leakdown test before completely tearing the motor apart.

    Talk to Brandon or Ryan at allpro. I'd have him look at your motor and see what's salvageable and point you in the right direction of getting it rebuilt or replaced.

    If anything have him assemble the longblock and host an install day to have it dropped in at your house plug and play.

    I would love to have them look at it but I have no way of getting the motor to them lol or wanna pay someone to tell me its FUBAR! I like the idea of having htem assemble a long block and instal party at my house!
