At it again. During mothers day weekend i turned on the car and heard a knocking noise. The higher the car revved the faster the knocking noise got. As i reached in to shut it off the motor took a dump. I covered the car back up and didn't mess with it for a month. I checked compression and it was telling me that the rear rotor had lost an apex seal. About a month after that i decided to pull the motor out and see what the damage was. As i pulled off the LIM a ceramic coating polishing ball dropped out of the LIM. I thought i had gotten them all out when i assembled it the first time but i guess not. ( My mistake ). When i disassembled the motor the only thing broken was an apex seal spring. I decided that since it was out and open again i was going to upgrade a few things. I decided to pin the motor this time around so i dropped off the motor at the machine shop for pining and the machinist dropped and broke my front plate. After spending almost a month searching for one i finally got the pining done. I also decided to go with the goopy seals instead of the Atkins seals that where in there already. I upgrade to a better quality turbo manifold and swapped out the HKS wastegate for a Tial.
