Caboobaroo Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Not a good thing... was getting some more of the vacuum lines and such finished up on it and decided to take it out for a spin. Was runnin great, then power started lagging so I turned around and headed for home. 6 blocks from my house, a terrible terrible sounds came from my engine.... it went SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK and then stopped running... not it won't turn over for anything... bah, now I need a new engine....

DrKrazy Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Damn, did your engine start ticking like crazy before it happened? does it turn over by hand? What do you need, I may be able to help you. I have a few engines sitting around, just waiting for projects. But thinking EJ for the lifted rig, and a special built higher compression EA82T for the RX when I blow the JDM, so my spare engines might not ever get used.

Caboobaroo Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 well I edited my WANTED post so here's kidna the plan now... MPFI NA EA82, gen 2 turbo heads which are on deceased engine, Delta 260 cams which are in my shop in cam towers and new seals, plus all of the extra bolt on stuff I have. 8.7:1 compression ratio plus those cams will make one pretty awesome engine... Yes, she did start ticking really loud right before it died. Bah... what a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobscript Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ouch! (why didn't you replace the pump from the JY motor?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ouch! (why didn't you replace the pump from the JY motor?) wasn't a junkyard engine. It came to me from a felow board member for free, had about 120k miles on it, and ran fine when pulled, just had a blown intake gasket.

Turbone Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Cams are not a good idea. Ask Tex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Cams are not a good idea. Ask Tex. Why's that? Did Tex have issues with them? These are the frist set of Delta 260 cams that were made. I got them from WJM and he was running then with no issues I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffast Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 just thought i'd add that you don't need an mpfi block there were no differances if your going to change the heads you can use an spfi block and have no problems i believes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna be looking into some of the differences of these engines still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, from the sounds of it, turbo and mpfi blocks have a breather on the crank case for the PCV... at least that's what I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
