ok i recently blew the engine and it was covered by the warranty but i was also wondering will it run the same or will it run better,worse do i have to break it back in need info thanks guys

 

can you give some detail how you blew it up.

 

Yes you will have to break it back in becuase you need to mate the pistons and rings with the inside cylinder walls. It may feel like it runs better to you because you will have brand new compression values, assuming there is nothing else wrong with your engine. Just out of curiosity what happened? Melt a piston, turbo throw a blade? Any other parts/systems damaged?

 

well i work for a mortgage company i would travel alot out of state soo i left to florida for six months and during the time i was over my cousin took my car and never changed the oil so came back happy to see my car and wanted to drive it well like to days later i hear a knocking noise, i blew a rod cause he put over 6,500 miles with same oil didn't know it was basically oil starvation and i still got the warranty on it

 

I'll bite..


That's not the cause--6500 miles on oil, no biggie.. you either had a defect from the factory, low oil level, or your cousin was beating the living sh%^ out of your car.

buggy


oops just read your last post again.. yes i would say oil starvation.. i'll shut up now.

 

damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 5g But i tend to chill when my oil is LOW or OLD!

 

I hear many horror stories from ppl letting friends drive their evos and breaking them.

It should drive the same if the dealerhsip knows what they are doing.

 

I'll give you a bit of advice DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS DRIVE YOUR CAR, this happened to me and well i had to fix it myself. I learned the hard way 2. Except my car is soo moded that i fixed it myself.

 

You are lucky they actually covered this under warranty, since it was an operator responsible failure.
I don't like anyone to drive my vehicles either. I would rather they sit. If they do need to be driven and you can't trust them, remove the arm from the wastegate actuator. That way, at least they won't be able to build any boost.
