I'm sure ill find out lol be ready for a long day friday matt lol. We have a ton of work ahead of us

 

Yeah yeah yeah... I will likely be up there Wed working on the tuning... if it is a complete fail, I will prolly throw my car on the dyno, if Dave doesn't beat me to it. And, if that doesn't happen, I will prolly just start tearing it apart. I figure if I can get mine all taken apart before Friday, I can work on putting it back together Friday, and then we can likely get yours almost done Friday too.

It shouldnt be too bad now that I know what I am doing.

 

yeah shouldnt be too horrible at all. im getting there early to have a meeting with dave and to let the car cool off. found out the dp is stainless too and all piping aluminum.

 

Were getting there early bioch

 

yeah we. ill be there before matt

 

I dont think I am going to be able to make it next friday guys... My car keeps spitting oil out of the dipstick.. I heard it was the intake manifold gasket.. so I changed that and the car was fine for a few days.. then it happened again.. so i brought it to the dealer and.. they said they fixed it.. got it backk. spit oil out yesterday again.. I think i may have blown my piston rings.. so we will see if they fix it by next friday.. hopefully!.. but I doubt it'll be done

 

^^^^sorry to hear that bro, get that **** fixed so u can make out. good luck

 

good luck getting it fixed. have one of the guys come grab you lol

 

haha yeah idk my friend with a regular cobalt might go so i might go with him if he is planning on going. but im keepin my fingers crossed they figure out whats wrong with it and hopefully its not the rings.. really dont want to spend that kinda money right now

 

Yeah, I won't be in til about 1030. No way in hell I am getting up before 8 for you guys, lol.

Hey man, thats DEF your PCV valve. The dipstick is popping out because there is too much pressure in your crankcase. Or, if its not popping out, it is finding a way to relieve pressure by pushing oil past the dipstick. Not sure what yours is actually doing, but I am quite certain its the PCV. Take it to the dealer, and tell them to check it.

It would absolutely NOT be your rings, as that lowers your compression, which would also relieve crankcase pressure by seeping oil past the rings, into the combustion chamber, thus burning oil.

 

Did we talk about the frequency of the club meets?
And guys, someone have a double gin and tonic for me please...extra lime!!

 

Gin and tonic, lolz very nice.

 

theres going to be 1 club meet per month....and then other members want to meet more often. its going to be up to them to host those meets. its going to have alternating meet spots which will be determined at this meeting. 1 in the northern parts and 1 in the southern parts. since this meets up north the next meet will be south.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26TH AT HOOTERS IN SCHAUMBURG. 8PM!!!!!!!! will be this months.

 

dealership called my dad today.. they said that the a ring is blown or somthing.. they are saying that it would cost more to fix it then to replace the whole engine. they said the new engine would be about 5400.... anyone know somewhere that would be cheaper... cuz thats a lot of money right there..

they said they can't do it under warranty because I have a different pulley.. catalytic converter.. different injectors.. and so on.. this is some bs..

 

You could pay me 2 build ur engine, i can return it to stock, or put whatever you want in it. Wont cost nearly that much. Maybe 1.5k

 

I think zach had or had a motor for sale. Anyways my cars going to be gone for a little while so anyone wanna come grab me meet day lol??????

 

I can prolly come swing out there and pick u up.

 

ill pick you up it on my way anyway! so hit me up ill come scoop you up boosted!

 

RINGS DO NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask them what evidence they have of this. If they say they used a scope, tell them to show you, because I VERY HIGHLY doubt the rings are causing this issue. Did you read my post in reply to yours?!

 

yeahh i heard that the intake manifold gasket caused the problem. I changed it myself.. didnt help.. it started doing it again.. then i brought it to the dealer.. they changed the same gasket and the supercharger gasket. it was fine for a few days then did it again. they said they did a compression test. I forgot exactly what they said cuz my dad talked to them.. but they said it seems like blow by or somthing and a cracked ring is probably causing it

 

Well, I am sticking with PCV valve. PCV is under $200 to do. Def worth it before completely redoing the motor. The 'blow by' the dealer may be seeing could also be caused by a bad PCV valve, as it pressurizes the crankcase, its looking for some way to get out. Its going to push past the rings, causing it to look like you might have ring issues.

The intake manifold gasket could have been blocking it, which is why it was recommended to you. Get the compression test results and post them up. Until then, don't do anything.

 

where is the pcv valve? would i be able to do it myslef? cuz yeah i dont get it my car runs absolutley fine other then the fact it spits oil when i get up to like 17-19 boost

i jsut talked to my dad again.. the guy that was doing the tests on my car i guess did a compression test all were 220. but when he did a leak down test. the 4th cylinder dropped to 60.. i guess its not holding the pressure back or somthing

 

Yeah, you should be able to do the PCV yourself... not sure how mechnaically inclined you are though. And, if the leakdown test failed, then its prolly the rings. I would still pull the PCV out and test it. Won't hurt, and could save you a bunch of money.

Also, don't take it back to the dealer to get the motor done. We could rebuild that sucker with fully forged internals for less that $5k.

 

i can pick you up bro its on my way there, and that way i wont get lost. LOL

 

Matt, I could pick you up too, on my way from WERKS to hooters... just taking you back home that might be the issue.
