Motor still ticking at 148k miles
Motor still ticking at 148k miles
Ya well I dont know how much longer this turbo motor will last. This beast has already given me 7000 miles of fun, excitement, hatred. All the cuts and bruises on my hands tell me I've become one of you.
This poor little engine is only sucking 13 inches of vaccum at idle. Amazingly it still runs smoother than my Saab and it still hot starts every single time. Yesterday I was hammering the car to 130mph on the highway with no problems.
I can really tell the engine is starting to let go though. the compression is so low that my gas milege in the past 3 weeks has dropped from 20mpg down to about 15, and it really stinks like its running pig rich.
Everyone prey for my motor.
