You said you bought the car with a blown motor already. Did you replace the oil cooler when you put the new motor in?

they seem legit until after i put the motor in and it went down hill. they first told me that they heard the motor run and everything. then when the motor knocked they said they didnt hear it run at all and now no answer

Can't you send it back to them like they said and get it repaired? Why do you have to lose all the money and go sell the car now? There are much better options.

I agree with not selling. There's a guy on here selling a IX motor with 38k miles on it for $1000. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...ng-around.html

1 Evo = 4500
1 motor = X
1 other motor = X

I don't think that makes him ahead of the game if he has to replace another blown motor... He bought the car with a blown motor.

He only replace 1 motor, not 2. If he spent less than $10,000 on the used motor, he is still ahead of the game.
