DrKrazy Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Oh crap, that sucks Jeff. Could help you out if it was a 4cyl...have a few of those sitting around. Will keep my eye out for a 6. Last time I was at Colorado auto parts there was 2 sixes there but that was along time ago. Anyone been there recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I was there about a week ago... they are still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownbimer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sidewinder has a 6, as does colorado.....the one at colorado has been there awhile though, so Im sure it could go away any day. I thought you had a spare motor for a 6? Thanks Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 what happened to your oil pressure? - sounds like you had an oil pump fail on you - that would explain the ticking prior to death - sorry to hear about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 my oil pressure sender kicked the bucket a few months ago i just figured i'd hear the lifters allot more than i did if it was the oil pump went and this wasn't a lifter tick this had more substance behind it it was a knock not just the hla's does any one know what eather yard charges for an engine? the reason i'm not using the one behind the fence is the cylender walls have started to rust and i don't evean want to go there and it has 160,000 on the clock if i'm gonna put the effort in i'd like to put a lower milage engine in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blownbimer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Think colorado gets about 100 bucks for a bare motor....and thats the route I'd go too BTW...that car has been hit, and it would be assumed that the car was running when that happened.
