Well I've begun work on the new talon. I first pulled the oil pan to find if their claim of a broken rod was indeed true. What I found was worse. The rod was fine. The piston on #4 was in 8000000 pieces. The oil pan was full of piston. This didn't bother me.
What bothered me was when I pulled the turbo. The coolant lines were full of piston. When I started pulling water lines off the engine to pull it, piston pieces everywhere. This doesn't bother me other than the parts that I can't clean easily. I'm assuming the heater core is full of metal. The radiator is full of metal. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I was thinking about throwing in the other motor, but I don't want it full of metal pieces. In-line filters all over? I'm really not sure where to go with this. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

I guess its a good thing I was going to part the galant out anyway huh. I know the radiators are basicly the same and most of the stuff will work, so I shouldn't have to much of a problem replacing everything. I just really didn't want to tear into the dash.
