I found out what was making that noise, it was the balancing shaft bearing so they are replacing that. Now here is my question, can that bearing cause it to leak oil and burn it?? Cause it wasnt just making that noise and stalling it also was leaking oil and it started to smoke again. When I asked the guy the other day he said it wasnt anything major, so is it normal for a motor to burn oil and leak a little until it is broken in?

 

Yes it is normal....

I hope you followed the break in proceedure that i showed you?

 

Yup, I followed it that morning. I was almost home when the clicking started.

 

You should be ok dude. Just give it time and you will be ok

Just exactly what did you do? like... step by step..That includes warming it up!

 

Yea I let it warm first, and I did everything step by step, I just hope that because not all the parts where replaced that the old ones couldnt take the stress. They didnt do anything to the head on it the guy said it was in great condition. Oh well they are fixing it for free so I cant complain I just am pissed that I only got to drive it one day. and before that it sat for about a month and a half Im going throu Eclipse withdraw, I love driving her its like sitting in a jet. Thanks again bro for all the help I will let ya know how its running when I get her back.

 

Sweet. What parts were left alone? You have a list?

The head shoul dbe fine. It shouldnt cause you any problems at all.

 

thats why that thread that sebba posted up has you beat on it right away, to create a better seal.

 

I have a list of parts that where replaced. They replaced crank,main bearings, rod bearings and replaced one conecting rod, Reconditioned head and installed new rings, oil pump and timing belt. All gaskets, seals and o-rings replaced t-stat and the water pump. I paid $2365 sound about right?? I didnt know they reconditioned the head, what do they do to it to recondition it?
Oh and they said they scaned it for codes before and after and 12 and 44 came up wich is
12 is Mass air flow sensor and 44 is ignition coil circuit problem. But Im sure you guys already knew what they are. Thanks again everyone for all the help, hopefully I will get her back today. How hard is it to change the balancing shaft bearing its been there for two days now, I guess they had to order the part.

 

Well I finally got her back on Friday and I didnt have any problems with her until Saturday, thats when the check engine light came on. But today it went out, it started going off and on then it went out and hasnt come back on. Any Ideas on what could cause that? Its running fine. Thanks in advance everyone, I will post some pix of her with the new rims. Thanks for all the help, you guys rock...[sm=icon_rock.gif]

 

Most likely its an emmision thing, getting some small reading. Maybe the o2 or something. I dont think its anything to worry about
