My 3L Project

EnoSonic said:
The shop called me and informed me that the cams arent moving when the engine is running. The engine runs on 3 cyl and looks like I lost the timing chain or a valve. Either way I guess I have to pull the engine again.

3.0l from 3lduratec (running on 3 cyl)
MSDS Headers & Y-Pipe

I dont want to part out...I just need it out of my driveway. If i have time I will tinker with it to see if I can get it running better...
I have a ton of cash tied up in this...looking to get $3k very-neg...
 
If 3l duratec built this motor, Id be looking at them to figure out why your cams are 'not spinning'

He was initially, we were trying to get him to send the motor back so we could tear into it and determine the issue. I think he is done putting money into the car including the cost to remove the engine.

Yeah, it would cost me another $600 to take out the motor...I cant afford to troubleshoot this anymore. If someone buys this, maybe blackcoog would be willing to check it out for them...I also forgot to include the XCAL2 stuff in my listing.
 
I am just going to sell it!! I am too frustrated now. My loss your gain...I will post this in the classifieds too.

$2750 takes it all....
