Well got a new toy/dd FOR FREE!!! no less 05 GP GTP

[MonzaRacer]

So my buddy pulled it out of guys drive/yard for free. I still have to go pay guy to file for lost title but its free.&lt;br&gt;<br>
So i will have to get it out of my buddies field, swap on some tires that hold air for now.&lt;br&gt;<br>
BUT the biggest issue is it is supposed to have engine knock.&lt;br&gt;<br>
So after trying to find engine parts specs on rods, pistons, block, etc, now I am looking around for options on rebuilding or repairing the current engine.&lt;br&gt;<br>
So from my search the Series 2 block is the same(if needed), figured on regrinding the crank replace affected rods or all of them, then simply reseal(gasket wise) and not even touch heads at first. Though being machinist i might go ahead and freshen up the heads.&lt;br&gt;Been debating on how far to go.&lt;br&gt;My first step is to get it up so I can look under it for rust damage.&lt;br&gt;So my plan:&lt;br&gt;Inspect and install roll around tires,&lt;br&gt;Get running and listen to supposed knock&lt;br&gt;Plan repairs accordingly.&lt;br&gt;All on free car!&lt;br&gt;Now question is who to deal with on engine parts both new and used.

The amount of machine work needed to make these engine run again after a rod knock, make it not even worth it.

Most guys will see less than 100-200 miles before they blow up again.

They basically twist when you remove the main caps and rod caps, line honing is a must.

I spent close to $1300 on my machine shop rebuild. go buy one in the junkyard for $200 and consider yourself making money.
