Big yes to honing and replacing the rings, Im just saying that the tech said the micropolish and endcaps werent neccessary for replacing bearings.

Since Im doing rod bearings as well, I stopped by the dealer ship and had a talk with one of their technicians. It seems you'll be fine simply swapping out the bearings, you dont have to micropolish the crank and replace the end caps. Just follow the TSRM to get your bearing sizes and then...

Without over hauling the internals I think Port/polish, BPU and NOS is as good as it gets for the N/A. You could go way off the normal path and try ITB's, but that means giving up ACIS.

this is for an N/A right? I dont see why it wouldnt work, You might have to change a few clips around but I cant recall any major changes in sensors. Or even change all your old sensors over to the new engine. If you werent so far away Ive got a pretty solid bottom end Im selling for $50.

Do what now?

If its a heavy rodknock itsll be there even after pulling the plug wires correct? At least mine didnt go away.

I just listened to the second vid and Im not ruling out valves now. What were your RPM's on that video?

Wouldnt a valve be alot faster Jdub? That noise sounds way to slow to be a valve to me, but i could be wrong.

That sounds almost exactly what I have on my N/A. I took it as rodknock. thanks to hells legion Im thinking it could've been a plug not firing since it sounds like its coming from the head. Pull the plug wires off one at a time and see if it goes away. Im just guessing but maybe it could...

Leave SM and go to MKIIITech. RUNAWAY! :kloguck:

Spark plug you say...maybe my car didnt have rodknock. Shit now I wanna throw it all back together and change the wires/plugs.

I have more rep than IJ had, Just cause Im that awesome.

Thats when you send them over to the Kia dealership. $89 a month for a Kia Rio :biglaugh:

Damn good job, as soon as I see rust I call the scrap yard.

What about co-signers? My cousins had 2 cars repo'd with his mom as the co signer.

Primer FTW. I actually like the look if its even.

Dont lie selling cars in the bay is cake. You sell it, it gets repo'd and then you sell it again. I just spent almost all of my months paycheck on a .57 trim.

Im gonna say thermostat too. I would replace it first instead of jumping straight to BHG as its a lot cheaper to fix.

Maybe he just follows the same motto as me. "Pretty paints for sissies"
