what causes the scoring on the cylinder walls
dirty oil?

atleast now you get to mod it haha

 

That's prob. one of the cleanest 03 EVO's I have seen!






yeah right......

 

That is ****ed up from the seller's part if he was aware of the issues and sold it to you that way.

You paid for something that you didn't get, did you contact the seller?

 

Dam that's looking ugly GL on your rebuild no wonder it was cheap.

 

I'd be PISSED!! Sorry, but the seller knew what he was selling. I wonder if there is any action that can be taken.

 

hahahha well have fun helpin him im sure you will be summoned for something.....

 

Yep! We pretty much have the motor completely out already just one last motor mount holding it up!

 

2.3s tend to lean on walls if proper clearance isnt maintained.first 2.3 i ever had was like that.machine shop that bored block out 2nd time around did proper clearances and motor is still crisp.

 

i think its funny how ivey posted in the guys for sale thread about how he looked it over and it looked good and the owner doesnt beat on it....HA

id be pissed!

 

That is REALLY fu*ked up!

Both the seller and on Ivey's part. Either he didn't look it over and lied about it, or did look it over and lied about it. Either way he lied, and it's shady.

Whoever the dude is that sold it to you... I hope you are reading this, because you are one gargantuan douche bag!

 

Yea I can't see how ivey would miss the fact there is no oil cooler...

 

I do not want to speculate on how much "work" Ivey actually did on this car, I hope he didn't do some of the things we saw.

The owner did say all Ivey did was build the motor, which maybe he can speak to why the side walls are scored? If it were the case and he did then he will have a lot of people asking questions.....

But as far as the hack job, this thing was bad. Reminded me of the old DSM days!

 

Just be glad this EVO is in great hands! Joel will def. take care of it and I will make sure it runs perfect and makes tons of power!

 

Truth!

 

We rebuilt the engine in that car. The owner brought us the engine in pieces, and we rebuilt it and replaced the head.

We didnt do the R&R on the engine, or the piping, or the oil cooler or anything like that.

The car ran great when it was brought to us and as far as I know the car was not abused.

I am honestly shocked there are problems, as far as I knew the car was in decent shape.

The walls look like something got into the oil, but it's hard to say. Very odd the scratch marks are going above the ring pack.

Why did you take the head off?
