hi I just made an account here and hope someone can help me on this site...i recently got my car back from this guy who claims to have rebuilt my motor...i gave him $2100 for the whole rebuild...I brought the car back home and the next morning i go out and see that the car has a huge oil puddle under the car so i tow it back for him to fix it again. he said that it was a bad rear main seal and a bunch of other **** (I had to give him $600 more so total I gave him is $2700) ...so he fixes it and i drive the car back home. as im pulling into my street i hear a horrible sound like metal grinding and a whining sound like a supercharger. Im thinking its my turbo (because my turbo is blown to hell)...so im thinking its coming from my turbo. I take my turbo off (replacing it) and i look down and sitting on my lower crossmember is a gear...so i do some research and find out that its a front balancer shaft pulley. Im honestly stupid for having this retard working on my car. for $2700 Im expecting to get a nicely built motor. anyways I wanna know how can this gear possibly come off... Ill try to upload a picture so it will be more clear of what came off the motor and went through the plastic side cover.

 

i dont know how to upload a pic so if someone can help me on how to do that too much would be appreciated

 

You need to a upload the photo on server. Try photobucket.com then copy and paste. Was the motor build by a shop?

 

K I'll try photobucket but yeah it was rebuilt by a shop and on the recipt it says no warrenty.... How the hell can the douche f uck warrenty something he didn't even put together correctly lol sry for swearing ppl I'm just stressed out at the moment....

 

ok instead using photobucket here is a link that shows a pretty good pick

its the front balancer shaft pulley that came off my car....can someone tell me how this just happens to fall off so randomly ... thank you

 

just wasn't tightened. I admit I've made that mistake before but it should only push against the timing cover and make a noise. How did it come all the way out?
What city are you in?
How did you pay the guy? You really need to be looking at everything and make sure it was actually touched. Check bolts for socket marks, loose dirt, cleaned spots, anything.

 

i have no idea how it cam out lol thats why im asking. but im in warren michigan. I checked everything when it was at his shop and test drove it. it sounded ok and drove great, but when i got onto my street i heard a grinding noise and when i was taking my turbo off i seen it sitting there... idk anyways thx for the response... the guy says hes gonna fix it tomorrow for free lmao we'll see about that, i aint payin the a sshole s hit lol

 

I would sit there and watch him fix it if I were you ahah

 

lol i know. wish i had the time tho... sometimes i hate mechanics. if i had the time and space i would of done it my self
