Well, finally got around to pulling the motor apart last night to inspect the burnt piston better. Discovered that the damage went through the first layer of rings, and melted a good chunk of the side of the piston, and left some scoring on the cylinder wall. What's worse, the melted chunks found their way around the rest of the motor, leaving pits and scratches on most of the bearings in the motor. I'm pretty sure the block will need bored, and the crank may even need turned.
 Been in contact with the seller, and we are curently trying to work something out. I do have a spare block and crank, but it's got some surface rust starting on the cylinder walls, not sure if it can be honed out or not at this point. Basically, with what I've got, I'm looking at a complete rebuild. I'm starting to think at this point that the better option may be to find a running motor to put in it at this point, but no luck at this point finding one. Why do I like these cars so much again?

QUOTE (AWD DSM 1 @ Apr 5 2006, 07:53 AM) Why do I like these cars so much again? I feel your pain...I was just to swap some bearing and call it a day. Ended up doing almost a complete rebuild..and now I need $300 in tranny parts. I a little tired of mine right now too...the only thing that keeps me going is the promise of boost on the horizon!!  If it's just surface rust, it may hone out, it's probably worth a shot. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Got the fidanza ordered yesterday around lunch time. Got a tracking number the same day! Seems like a really good place!
Now looking for some more parts to throw at it... let me know if anyone has this stuff!!! 3 gauge a-pillar pod 90 style oil cooler with lines and filter housing 2g MAS with intake pipe and filter SAFC II Realized the other day that the 1g MAS plug has already been replaced with a 2g one, so I figure I'll just go that route for now. It will give me some fuel control and better airflow, pleanty for the forseeable future. Spent some time cleaning up the interior, it's really in good shape, minus one huge tear in the driver's seat. Also worked on removing some broken bolts for the front bumper that had been busted off. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

Hey spy, if AWD DSM 1 doesn't want the gauges I might be interested in some/all of them. PM me a price if AWD DSM 1 passes...

Does that beast have some 550cc injectors in it already then? I noticed you posted that you had a 2G MAS, which will easily over-extend the measly stock 450's.

Well, brought home what hopefully will be the heart donor for the Killer. Yet to check the motor out to make sure it's ok, but I'm crossing my fingers. Also took care of the 90 oil cooler on my list. Hopefully have a 2g MAS and a Gauge pod on the way shortly. Still looking for a SAFC.... Hopefully the project will be picking up some steam in the next few days....
 Here's a question for you... GM MAFT or 2g MAS and SAFC? Looks like price is about the same.... -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

duuuuude, you want a mean street car for cheap ill tell you what I think you should do. One word. . . Stroker! More low end torque and with a e3 16G you could have one hell of a street car. And as far as machine shops, my buddy had his 4g63 stroker built in a shop in peopria because they were apparently the best shop in the country to have a stroker built at. Theyve apparently done hundreds of 4G63 strokers. If not then there is a really good machine shop here in st.louis that is doing my motor right now that is fairly cheap and doesnt have a 2 month long wait. There name is Allied Motors. Their number is 1-636-946-4747. Ask for Adam. He's done quite a few 4G63 motors.

Not much progess, other than selling and buying some parts... picked up a gauge pod off e-bay... universal fit garbage. guess it will work for now. Also picked up a SAFC II just today. Looking forward to getting this thing on the road.... eventually. Got a lot of work to do between now and then... better get my rear in gear!

Got the 3rd motor apart, found metal chunks in the oil pan. I think it threw a t-belt in the past and they didn't bother to clean the oil pan out. It's going to the machine shop at lunch. Race is on to see if I can get this thing put together and dialed in before slo pony day.

That sucks. I guess its getting harder and harder to find a used 6-bolt that doesn't need machine work.
