Description
I bought the car back in 2009, a few months later when I got the oil changed (I knew literally nothing about cars back then, lol) one of the oil lines flew off spewing most of my oil in a pile in my driveway and leading out to the street.. it stalled from oil starvation, I started it back up and pulled in the driveway where it stalled again. I got out to see the oil and immediately realized that I was probably screwed.
I bought the car from a private dealership in Ohio, the previous owner deleted the oil cooler which is where the line blew off at. I put synthetic in and it actually ran 3k miles before blowing a turbo seal at 115k it was time for rebuilding.
Sublime_whatigo did that first rebuild for me, the engine shop found amazingly just a scuffed piston.
basically whats happened since the car made me a mechanic..
