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

HELP!!!! I'm pulling the heater core and am about to start throwing things. I've got the whole dash off and every bolt lose from the climate control along with all the little clips. The stupid thing won't move an inch. I can move parts of it and inch but as a whole it won't budge. Am I missing something?
