CAUSE....
I wanna be like blue!
Ummm...The first engine I had, when I bought my car, lasted me a whole 30miles...
All fluids were good, everything was fine...outta no where BAM, dead.
No boost, not even going over 45mph...just...booom...
2nd motor was bad from the yard I got it from. Got it in, cranked once, and knock knock knock.
Took the motor back out, and they swapped it for the one I currently have...
Car ran fine for the 2 years the motor was in. Sure I beat on it, but I've always been good to my car. New gaskets, all properly installed. Synthetic oil, Dex VI trans fluid, etc...
Never knocked with my 3.4 setup..
Out of the blue a few days ago, parked the car, went to start it up the next day, KNOCK KNOCK...whos there? A chipped piston....or 3.
Seriously...No idea what the hell happened...
Now some I imagine are from running too small a pulley and saying "what, Im not knocking" without really knowing whats going on.
Also, all 3 engine had less that 100k miles on them
