ok i used to have a GSR motor/tranny in my car. the tranny went out and i bought a b16 tranny and it ran great untill the oil pump decided to finger itself and i spun a rod bearing. so i bought an LS from a local junkyard w/ a 6 month watanty nad put it in my car. iv been driving it for about a month now and in the begining it burned a little oil, but not that bad. well now its up to about a quart every 3-4 days and im throwing a TPS sensor code and the motor misfires sometimes at idle. i really dont beat on it cause i cant afford to **** it up being in school and all.

anyhow i call up the junkyard to see whats up w/ this waranty and the good news is i get a new motor, the bad news is i gotta rip the old one out. ahhhhhh im just sick of this but hopefully i wont have to do it again for a while, because its getting parked for the winter and im doing the body work and painting it.

sorry had to vent

 

that sucks man... sorry

 

Wow..that really does suck..but at least your getting another motor for free. Im sure its easier each time though!!

 

yea, i just dont wanna be out of a car, and have to worry about it getting all cold out

 

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

i've put 5 engines in my car in the last 5 months
i've put 7 engines in the "RACE CAR" in last 4 months

i've done about 15 swaps on top of that in the last 4 months.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

Positive side: Chalk it up as experience.

7 race car engines cause of unforseen circumstances
and a lot of other swaps going on in the local area.

 

Sounds like the engine you are getting are not having the standard leak down and over all inspection going to them. Well best luck on this one you are getting and I must agree with everyone else on here. It is just more experience in teh long run.

 

Cry me a ******* river. You can practically do a Civic B-series swap with a scissors jack and a prayer. When you're pulling BBC's out of corvettes you can complain.
