Pittsburgh Crew < You
hey everyone... just letting you guys know MD is having a meet this weekend in case any of you were interested in coming.. it should be big. check out this thread - https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/north-east-56/dave-busters-ny-nj-pa-road-trip-166197/ and the link in my sig if you are up to driving to it!
-I heard a rattle from the timing chain
-Took it to Star and they said the tensioner broke and was dangling
-The force from the chain stripped the threads from the head
-They ordered a brand new head and moved the whole valvetrain
-I added the parts up(GM direct) and it totaled 1200$
-Two weeks later I received my car back in the following condition
-It was missing a screw from the plug cover
-A random bolt was dangling from a hole in the subframe
-Oil was leaking from the timing side of the motor
-Took the car back 2 or 3 weeks later which was spewing oil onto the belt and then spraying my entire engine bay.
-The story this time was my oil pump locked up and the crank and bearings are toast
-I'm guessing they didn't install the crank pulley properly and didn't line up the keyway and it wasn't fully seated and it loosened over time
-So you think I would get a new engine but they are rebuilding it, new crank and all
-Now thats being cost effective
if u dont mind me askin... wat do all of u guys drive? cuz i go to school down the street and i used to roll up there with a few people but most of them moved away... but now i dont know anybody up there...
16 inch rims and 245/50/16 tires will fit on SSSC no problems the rims actually have multiple bolt patterns ie has 10 holes 5x110 and 5x115-120 i believe will have to look at discount tire they are MB -five x hardly used look at the parts for sale section for all details asking $350 is negotiable esp w local buyer costed total 550 not including mounting shipping balancing taxes etc
I am rocking the Saturn till the GTO is fixed
