Well ob1 fixed Vader. I thought when it first happened the motor blew, which if it did he was ready to do a 3l, but since it wasnt I just had him fix it. It was the pvc valve had built up preasure and poped a line off and spewed oil out everywhere, so he took it all apart and cleaned everything, uim,lim, pvc,iac, front and rear leaking valve covers.

Yeah with the cost of gas it would be cheaper to blow it up and buy a whole new car:laugh::crazy::laugh:

So is it a good or bad thing you didn't get a 3l:shrug: I'm confused as usual.

Either way Congrats on getting it back on the road!
 
Damn Ryan, you do suck at working on your own car :laugh: PCV valve comes off and you think the motor blew, and you couldn't fix it yourself? You are a disappointment :nonono:

;)

Scenario 1:

Ryan pops his hood and sees his intake dirty.

Ryan: " Damn I blew my motor"


Scenario 2:

Mechanic: Ryan your plugs are worn out.

Ryan: So how much is this new motor going to cost me?

lol hahaha anyone that knows me knows I dont know enought to mess with something that I could potentially break, so I leave that to the experts like ob. I like having the piece of mind to know its done 100% right.

I am taking the 3l turbo to gct btw.

:shocked::shocked: How? My dad used to get 22-24 in his I-6 Envoy. There's no way that gets cut in half when towing a little Contour. He did have a 4.10 though. That really seemed to help. He still gets about 19 with his 5.3L V8 Envoy (Denali).




As far as Ryan goes, I think that he would take ANYTHING as a reason to do a 3L. Dirty airfilter? Time for a new motor! :laugh::laugh:
