Or the mad scientist and I can rip apart the block and replace the piston rings I fried.

Not a bad plan. I might steal that name.

I wouldn't waste my time on it. $300 from the junkyard, and start over.

Also, I thought you needed a van

I have time to drop the oil pan and see what's up before jumping to obvious conclusions.
Van or wagon was too expensive for now. If this isa $2000 $600 car. Then a wagon van might have been a $3000 $1500 car.

EAGLE SUMMIT

How is that not one of the coolest car names ever?

Eye of the Tiger · October 08, 2015, 12:45:31 PM

Also for $400 is the complete V6 drivetrain from an Eclipse.

Should bolt right in, eh

Eagle Summit is indeed a proper name for the conveyance of a rugged individualist.

The only thing more

would be the Eagle Summit AR-15 4WD

I could put guns on it, but an engine would be cheaper and more useful.

I could convert it to an unbalanced 3-cylinder. I will completely remove the damaged piston+rod, disconnect the fuel injector, and remove the valve lifters. Permanent cylinder deactivation. imagine the MPGs.

It would be a lot like a Chevy Sprint only with less utility.

Not sure how insanely vibratey it would be with 3 cyl. Might have to go straight to 2 cyl. That might not work, either. Ilmd have to cut the connecting rods off near the crank end and remount it to the crankshaft to maintain oil pressure. Or weld the oil holes. I'm sure it would run, but it would be so unbalanced that I don't even.

Didn't you notice any of this stuff before handing over the money? Did you even LOOK at the car at all?

Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for your situation. But Dude, what the hell were you thinking?!?!?

Hey, I've rolled the dice on crap cars, too. The $800 Escort lasted me a few months before dropping a valve seat and trashing number four cylinder (a common Ford CVH malady). In my case, it was better to throw the car away than to throw good money after bad by fixing it. I suspect you'd be better off doing the same, too. Call it a learning experience and move on.

Dude. Man. Like I said, it was okay on the test drive. It was totally worth the price with the list of minor issues. But then the engine broke on my way home.

And speaking of learning experiences... At the very least, I will take this thing apart and see what broke. That way, I'll know what that particular type of knocking sound means.

Good excuse to buy an engine crane.
But I'll have to put a sheet of plywood down since I got no garage or actual working surface. Fuck my garageless life. You have no idea how much I hate people who use garages as parking spots or hoarding chambers.

That's a parking spot. I can't work in that thing.
I can put up a metal garage. The concrete slab is the hard part.

You could experiment with weights on the wheels until they acted as a counterbalance to the engine. Of course it would only work if you had direct drive and well maybe not. At least the motor had the decency to blow up before you paid for taxes and registration.

Eye of the Tiger · October 08, 2015, 04:14:37 PM

Well, I'm not junking it. It will either get a junkyard engine and be a beater, or it will get a ridiculous motor swap and still be a beater.

1995 Eagle Summit DL curb weight is 2085 lbs.
It only needs 208.5 hp to reach the magical 10lbs/hp.
A 4G63T fits with some wiring and makes 180-195 hp.
