rasinhell

Hey guys i'm about to buy an EG shell with a y8..Well..> i guess it's a complete car but i'd consider it sort of a shell because of the problem it has.

The car will run for about 10 minutes before shutting itself off. There is a knocking coming from the engine when in neutral/driving. Some people suggested it was something like the rod bearing or whatever... I just wanted to see if you guys had some input.

kinda hard to tell without hearing it. is the knocking constant and dont go away?? if it is the motor will need rebuild. Most likely a Rodknock

Kamin

it shuts it self off?
wow
thats bad


is there oil in the engine?

I personally know 5 people with blown y8's due to rod knock/ no oil, so it very well could be

How loud and where in the engine bay is it comming form. The block, head, drivers side, passenger side?

seems to be coming from the block.. I only checked the car out so i can't really describe it in detail.. Its similar to knocking on a wood desk. I only heard it when he pressed the gas.

its a 92 Si though.... billstien shocks, gc coilovers, full interior minus carpet, deck.... amber corners.... everything works but its only 1200 so u think its still a good deal?

Id buy a 92 si shell for 1200 any day of the week, as long as the body is in good condition. definitely a decent price.
