I wish i knew 100%. I know the car had been idling worse but i figured it was because of the VSR intake. But right after the drop ins it really started idleing bad... Then it went from bad to really bad and dying when the clutch was pushed in about 2 days after the drop ins. About a 3-4 days before i sent it up to AMS the clutch peddle was droping to the floor after i would got WOT with the car... I bleed the clutch and it still did it so i stopped driving the car. I just figured the push style hydraulic TOB was going bad.... I never thought it would be crank walk with 60k miles on the car!
Well i had a friend drive my car up to Chicago to AMS and about 15 miles away the car died at a toll booth and wouldn't restart. When my buddy Eric Jones got to the shop Monday he pulled my car in and inspected it and i got a text saying "HOLY CRANK WALK BATMAN" Which i had it in the back of my mind but didn't think it would do it with 60K on the odometer and definitaly didnt want to think it was walking...
There is a possibility that when the drop in were done that it wasn't kept as clean as it should have been and some metal could have found its way in and ate at the bearings... I know the bearings were in the pan and the crank and block was done for. So the car is up there getting their mack daddy AMS 2.0 build.
It's just more money in the pit i guess.
