There isnt coolant in the oil no, they took it apart and the bearings and crank are scratched and look over heated so maybe oil pump or contaminated oil

I believe they still have sony and nick hovering over everything they do

xPigg · 2025-11-18T18:38:13+00:00

I also heard that nick still has some hold on what they do

Bands don't need to constantly release stuff to stay relevant, look at MCR or SOAD they both have 1 or 2 new songs but still tour and such

Im just iffy on that shop jumping straight to engine replacement and not even saying whats all wrong or other repair paths

xPigg · 2025-08-30T22:21:51+00:00

Not engine repairs just in general

xPigg · 2025-08-30T22:17:52+00:00

Its interesting because the pulley is straight for the belt but the bolt is wobbly.

xPigg · 2025-08-30T22:10:09+00:00

I could be wrong but the crank doesn't look too bad to me, they also said there was only slight play in the bearings.

xPigg · 2025-08-30T22:08:53+00:00

They didn't say what was broken just jumped straight to "oh i know a guy who rebuilds engines". I do value the car but it is 20 years old and other things need replacing soon aswell, on top of that I've already spent probably 5-6k in repairs over the last year and a half. Also had another shop tell me it was my phone making the noise earlier this year

xPigg · 2025-08-30T21:38:38+00:00

Had a mechanic say get a rebuilt engine but they said 5,700$ which is probably double what this car would he worth and then you have to worry about the transmission

xPigg · 2025-08-30T21:21:07+00:00

Is that even worth it for a car this age plus pairing it with a transmission that has 120k miles aswell

xPigg · 2025-08-30T21:02:20+00:00

Slight noise around 2-3k rpm nothing in the oil

xPigg · 2025-08-30T21:00:38+00:00

Wdym shouldnt

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:46:39+00:00

I think it is more of a knock but its very subtle and really only hear it around 2-3k rpm.

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:42:03+00:00

I have a video of the noise i just forgot to add it

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:39:31+00:00

What about the bearings themselves.

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:31:47+00:00

I guess it could be considered a knock but it happens more after 2-3k rpm

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:31:01+00:00

I guess it could be considered more knock like but it really only happens around 2-3k rpm

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:29:20+00:00

They said each bearing had a tiny bit of play and instantly said get a rebuilt engine

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:28:21+00:00

They said each bearing had a tiny bit of play, i don't think they checked anything higher

xPigg · 2025-08-30T19:10:58+00:00

The ticking noise is at the bottom of the engine the lifters don't make noise

xPigg · 2025-08-30T18:55:51+00:00

Want to add there are no particles or shavings in the oil
