"so am I putting the motor in right?"

HAHAHAHA some mexican friends got a rod knock in there 7m (surprising right!) admitted to running it low on oil :biglaugh: anyhow they got the motor out of the engine bay and took oil pan off to find it didnt have rod knock but welded rod bearings! so car was brought over to metaphsycos house and i assisted in pulling the engine. well i thought ok and look under the hood. well nothing there :nono: lol i was then notified its in the trunk! HOW THE FUCK DO U DO THAT!? so long story short there was a spare block metaphysco had and he put rod bearings in it and basically rebuilt the bottom. and i got to learn to do rod bearings :biglaugh:

Is that sarcasm, does being Mexican have something to do with having rod knock? Just wondering if I'm going to have rod knock soon.

Actually, Caucasian 7m's can rodknock;
It's just call 'cracker rattle'.

And Mexican Supra's CAN jump over border fences- That's HOW they get rodknock in the first place.
Hitting a fencepost with your oilpan in midair can crush the pickup tube, causing oil starvation, and the ensuing rodknock.
See Wikipedia- also referred to as 'CanCun Knievel Knock'.
(bet you just pronounced knock as 'Kinock')

Aaannd....I'm just waiting here for the mods to come clean up this sewer of a thread....

LOL. I am proof that Asians get rod knock too... quite the interracial bug we have here.


Asian rod knocks: They happen because your dipstick is too small to actually read the oil level.
