Meh i dont really want to bring my car to the shop since its about 40miles away. Driving with 1-5psi op i feel is kinda risky.
A little frustrating the shop is asking me to drive the car back but the 1st time i dropped off the bare longblock for them to inspect and find any oiling issues. Maybe im just a noob but wouldnt a machine/auto shop find obvious signs of oiling issues if they went through the entire longblock? They asked me to take it back running to check all of that. But hey maybe im salty i forked over 4k and my low op issues is still there.
No i believe its an IAG block. I bought it off a buddy for a good deal but he said might have issues. Its why i wanted a shop to inspect it.
Edit: found that old post about that cam sprocket intake plate thing and oil pressure. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show....php?p=1802327 |
Did the shop give you a build sheet with bearing clearances?
I wonder if they checked the oil pickup screen?
After talking to the shop, the car will probably need to be trailered or taken on a flatbed back to the shop.
