I dont even work on cars, i just sit on my *** and type stories all day cuz its cool. Leg work would be epic

 

Soldier GT sorry to hear about your motor
But really .. Thanks man for keeping us safe

 

Sorry to hear about the motor man i know how you feel...

Good luck gettin her fixed!

 

Dude I am sorry to hear about the car man. That sucks. What where you doing that led to the ticking? like flooring it, etc? That scares the **** outta me haha

 

If I had to guess the person that did the install probably didn't get the metal shavings out and do an oil flush after tapping the oil pan.

 

thats a bummer man..

 

Soldier, that sucks man. Sorry to hear about it. Hopefully it will come back better than ever when it's all said and done.

 

Damn, soldier, I hope the best for your car. Best of luck on this install.

 

Hey thxs guys.. Yeah it's a bummer to say the least. Truthfully when this happened I was like this is it!!!!!!!! I even test drove a 11 5.0. Yes I was that fed up. I've had to go back and replace and fix more sh** in the last 6 mths than I have since I bought the car back in 07. I can only blame myself tho. To many shortcuts.. I saw the engine yesterday and it looks outstanding. The Ford dealership will be installing it and will be dropping their usual labor rates from 88 bucks a hour down to 65 dollars a hour. Still kinda steep but I need to get this done right. The only guy that can do it will be doing it on his breaks and in between jobs so I should be getting it back in about two weeks. My wife is the best wife in the world. She told me to just fix it. I was like Wow. So she'll be back up and running soon and I can't wait!!!

 

Man that does suck about your car, but sounds like you are getting things put back together. Kind of scares me though, because you were not really that high in the HP range to make it melt. Your wife sounds like mine. She lets me do this crap without even asking why. Kerns and others on this site are awesoema and will take time to help, explain and find information for you. Great forume for sure. Good luck with the car and keep us posted.
