yea, i saw that

 

D'OH your misspelling is contagious

 

It's fun to watch, though, lol.

 

Here we go again.. Way off subject! But i will be looking for new gagues myself... Tired of looking at the stock ones.
How hard are they to change? Should i have someone else do it for me?

 

They can't be TOO hard the idiot that owned my Eclipse previously (The one that told me that it was a 5 speed and he swapped it to auto and that it was a turbo but he blew that and swapped in a N/A engine even though there are no mounts for a clutch pedal present or even marks where they would have been and there is NO remnants of the intercooler or anything and a carfaaax report pulls up that it is a GS but he DID install a new gauge face that actually works so it can't be TOO hard)

 

Wow. That is one interesting Eclipse you have. And good job without the punctuation, lol. I actually got out of breath just reading it. :-p

 

LOL Yeah essentially the guy didn't have CRAP in it was JUST starting body work and got bored w it. The guy told me "A simple valve job and she'll be running again" YEAH right... I pulled the valve cover off the engine won't turn and there's a rocker lyting NEXT to the valve... There's also a 1/4 inch track cut into the timing belt about 1/4 of an inch from the engine side of the belt. My guess is the timing tensioner let loose and let it jump a couple of teeth at a time eventually enough to shove a valve through a piston (My guess is the guy had NO idea what he was doin with that car prolly over reving it when it happened).

 

Nice money pit you got there.. i smell a rebuild. screw it just get a new motor.

 

I been lookin for a new motor but I'm thinking I'll just pull it and go with a rebuild. if it's the block I THINK it is it SHOULD be the original 6 bolt 4G63. I think I'll rebuild it in my livingroom and prolly build it to be turbo MUAHAHHAHAHA

 

I knew a guy that had to move a tranmission outta his bathtub to take a bath... also his motorcycle was parked behind his couch for the winter....
