s'ko Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 IT’S DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep. I killed the motor. I made a HUGE mistake of putting Marvel Mystery Oil “GAS TREATMENT” into the engine. Turned the oil into a super thin film and it leaked through all of the seal. I also developed a rod knock. Well time to find a 2.2 engine. *sigh* back to the garage. zzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 PSSST*that probably would have been a good place to start* The EA81 is junk when powering a lifted rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s'ko Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Found another EJ18 for $100.00 I plan to make a frankenmotor out of the dead one. Maybe 2.5 short block w/Ej18 heads or something to that effect. BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
