Ok a little update ! I blew my motor on the way back from the roto rally .. Ironic it happened just cruising on the highway .. seems like a spun bearing as the motor still starts and has 17 inches of vacume . But its making a very nasty noise .

A little update . I think I'll have some updates thsi weekend . But well motor is out of the car ,and taken apart . it wasnt pretty in there. I should have pictures later today . 


looks like It will get rebuilt . started ordering parts from all over . I've got all of 97 cents to my name currently HAH!


 


engine Pulled, started taking things apart . 



 


stationary gear. gone both look like this front and rear done . 


 


Rotor Gear Gone as well .. Both like this 


and 



Quite a bit of carbon on the rotors as well I only had the engine for a year..


1 of the housings had some chatter 



and a spark plug crack 


 


the oil pump was completely Gone forgot ot take pictures of it , and the Eshaft was bad to from where the bearing originally spun


P.S. I never ran this car low on oil .. it had low Oil pressure form the first day I put it in the car. I figured it was a bad oil pressure sensor. but I guess someone did run the car low on oil beforehand , and that messed up the oilpump which in turn caused this ... 


catastrophic damage could of been avoided had I rebuilt the engine back then ..


But now We start the build up. 


I got this Lightweight flywheel for a great deal .. it needs ot have the friction plate replaced . but for the price it was hard to pass on 







I have a thing against sidegrading , when ever I can I try to upgrade . since hte flywheel is out why not!! ,
