As the car sits now 85% of the coating came of my s/c blades and has clogged the engine . I took off the top cover cleaned it out. Now I am trying to get the damn oil pan off but not having much luck .I think(lol) I got all the bolts off but THE DAMN THING WILL NOT BUDGE! If Anyone had it off and can throw some pointers my way it would be great.

 

i went and bought a pry bar...and it worked like a charm....good luck ...that high temp rtv is no joke....lol

i belive there is 14 bolts that hold it on

bur an ss so im not sure...if its the same bolt pattern

 

got it thanks

 

yup, get all the 10 mm bolts off.....the 2 bolts for the a/c compressor need to come off also, the bolts from the pan to the trans....THen a rubber mallet, prybar....and a LOT of patience.

 

not liking what i see inside

 

you have to pry the hell out of it

 

uh oh, what u find in there.... pics will be needed

 

what did you do to take the coating off the rotors

 

this

did this and was laying in the oil pan thank god it was way to big to go threw the screen BUT I WONDER WHAT IT DID ON ITS WAY THREW


going to clean everything out with break cleaner then i got enough oil and 3 filter to run 3-5 min and change 3 times and HOPE (LOL DOUBT IT ) all is ok

 

what happened

 

Well I thought something came off the cold air intake where a bolt rubbed threw after getting service work.but who knows

 

you dont run water meth or anything?

 

ran nitrious a few times back in december now its more for show . I am sure thats not what caused this.(had it apart since) I heard the belt squeal but it was very quick got about 1/4 mile from home and the s/c siezed up. took off the belt so I could drive home and thats when I saw the first piece inside the s/c thats the bigger piece in the pic. I turned it backwards freeded it up ran great (also put in new blade rotors ,s/c oil an repacked bearings) then started to get a knock but it was speratic. took off the cover and it was not getting much oil to the top . so I have taken apart as much as I can or know how and am just depending on luck that everthing else is ok.If not well for sale 1 cobalt ss s/c haha never It will be fixed and ran the **** out of some more 73,823 miles track raced since 24,000 2.7 pulley since 35,000 7800 rpm limiter since 39,000 surprised it lasted this long.I did a compression check before I started teardown 198-202 so still good there and leakdown was about the same a last dec



1 more thing over 73,000 miles oil changed every 3,000 miles or less and 0 sludge in the oil pan mobil 1 is the **** lol
