Well oil was really low and car started knockin. So I had it towed to AMS and I got the official call today.

One of the Rod bearings were in the oil pan and the crank is shot.

I am upgrading to their stroker motor.

Anyone out there that has the AMS stroker got any tips or opinions?

probably upgrade the crank and rods for starters.

 

Well you can't go wrong with that motor. Sorry about the news though. I hate that. The waiting is the worst. But you're in good hands

 

Yep, let them break it in, and love it.......

THe spool up with a stock turbo will be insane!!!

are you doing the 2.3 or the 2.3RR

 

Well when you go stroker, I think you have no choice but to upgrade the rods but sounds like a beast in the making.

 

Yeah I know! Maybe I can renta evo somewhere .

Good to have AMS around yes.

 

The 2.3 stroker not the RR.

 

Now you don't have to check the oil anymore,, O O O wait you didn't check it before either.

 

Yeah nothing makes you realize the importance of checking the oil more than this. Yeah I should've checked the oil more often, obviously. At my mileage you didn't think it would get that low with out a drop leakin out and no noticeable blue smoke.

But yes regardless it should be checked.

 

^ wow

 

how many miles on your evo?

 

at least have something to look forward too!!!

 

round 39k

 

jesus, low mileage, bad oil change?

i'm going to check mine now!

BUT on a brighter note, for $5k, you'll have a BULLET PROOF (as long as you put oil in it) ENGINE!! Pscyhed about the negine though, it'll be awesome. . .

 

so from ams what would be the typical price range for them to through in a stroker?

 

how long (miles) had it been since your oil change?
