he's probably right. you were just asking for it driving around low on oil. On the bright side, D16 blocks are cheap...

 

yeah i just threw out my D16y8 was bottom end... had the same symptoms... give it a week or 2 and it wont stop rattling....

 

I actually think your car magically became supercharged....congrats enjoi.
Not really but why in gods name would you drive a car low on oil in the high RPM's?

 

well i did that too, it was on persose myself... i knew id never do an engine swap without a reason behind it... and well i figure a low end problem would def be a reason to swap....

otherwize id still be sporting a D block....
woot b18c

 

well like i said it burnt oil fast and where i was at when the light came on it took a good little while to get to a place that sold oil that late at night and i didnt have an extra qt in my car just cause ive only had the car a month

 

congrats bro... your the winner of a new slightly used motor ... better start calling the junk yards... be aware of the guys on ebay that have the 30k motors I have found that most of them are just rebuilt and sold as 30k motors.

 

have you done a compression check lately?
