Indeed. I found out my engine is delayed, so swap will be in summer (yuk) and ordered my new slave cylinder to get the car back on the road, rod knock and all :lolol:

I'll likely get my tires mounted up too so if i see any of the slow bois from the cuck crew on the hill I can gap them in a clapped out, knocking, oil burning, stock everything, 27 year old, 130hp chick car. :trollface:

How many miles are on the engine ? Any ideas why it decided to drop its bottom end?

150k. It was already burning quite a bit, and apparently quite a bit more than I thought. I prob hurt it from starving going around corners at the dragon and obviously not keeping a close enough eye on it. Who knows what kind of abuse it endured the other 25 years and 145k miles before i got it. :ohwell:

Got it.
Been binge watching some engine tear down vids and I always find engine failures fascinating. 9/10 times it’s lack of maintenance/oil starvation. Occasionally there are quality/design issues also. But clearly assuming someone else’s “baby” of 10 years leaves a lot questions unless you get a stack of records.

Yep. I bought a 1500 dollar clapped out 25 year old car. It polished up decent. I drove the piss out of it. Shit happens.

I feel like Philly is underrated as a city, I think it can be just as much fun as a trip to NYC.

I'd love to visit, it's been on our list for ages, just haven't found the time. One of these days, I'd like to spend a month or 2 in NYC checking out the city AND nearby surrounding cities. There's so much to see and do, :mindblown:

That I don't doubt at all. I've been there last time in 2017 (not including pdrbq :doe: ). Will keep y'all updated and probably send on dfd snapchat.

Doesn't an Airstream cost as much as a house in Traverse City?
