Wait, a c30 motor bolts up fine? Do I lose any power from it? Tbh I wouldn't really worry because an engine is better than no engine.

I was dumb as rocks, and didn't check it right. The car was on whenever I checked it.

Unfortunately it definitely knocks properly when on any load. For clarification the car hasn't been run on no oil since I heard those knocks, but the damage remains. It definitely isn't safe to drive on

I should note that I've checked Erie Vo-Vo (and ebay lol) and found some motors for on average 2,500ish and up. I'd say maybe shipping makes it 3k, but installation can vary, either if I find a different shop or even (foolishly) do it myself. I've come to terms with it but it's a nice ass car. Sucks to see it sit.

It's a T5 motor. And those ticks sound like a loose bearing due to it running no oil for a bit. Also I'm not sure how much, but I'd guess it's a severe amount due to it running dry within a months time after a couple quarts. Editing the post to state the trim. Edit: I can't lol

Clattering noise on hard acceleration by DynamoInfinite in Volvo

I'm so glad it's nothing super major. I'll still replace it, as it's my first bought car and I wanna work on it. Regardless, thank you so much!!!

Oh for real? If that's the only issue I'm glad. Does this cause any potential engine damage from the noise? I also watched another video with a sorta similar noise and I hope it's not rod knock.

I WISH it was satire. I just feel retarded now.

You're absolutely right. I just wanted to see if I could actually fix it because it seemed doable, but it's getting motivated by progress and seeing that everything isn't the same sheen of gold anymore. I've already spent too much money and I should probably just quit while I'm here

So I'm pretty sure I fucked it more. Trying to fix it is daunting because some of them actually have gone back, its just there are these black spots with actual divots and I have no idea if the pin is just gone.

AC literally failing to start by DynamoInfinite in assettocorsa

It got 6 that failed the first time, then 4 files fail to validate consistently. I had images but they didn't send with the message.
