blew my engine
guess I can say I'm the first 2.2 board member to blow his engine. to those keeping up with the previous thread the car made a light rattle kinda like the wheel on wheel of fortune. the techs at sunrise reworked the top half putting 6 grand into the engine and yet it still made the noise. I was told to drop it off tomorrrow but the bottom blew out sending rods and **** down the expressway. hows that for a service problem?

it was making a strange rattling sound months ago. at least thats when it started. took it in for service almost two months ago. they give me the car about two weeks ago after 6 g's in repaires to the top half and it still had the rattle only it got worse. on my way home from work saturday i was on the e-way and the noise got louder and a split second later i hear my car falling apart literally dumping its guts out on the road.

I'm old school
Merged and moved. Just one thread please.
You say they spent 6 grand? I assume a warranty repair? If it was that much, they should have just put a new engine in it to start with. That would only cost them $3000.
BTW: I blew my first engine November 2005.

If so you lol you probably lost haha. but don't worry theres plenty of cars out there you well we can beat. i won't mention who i beat cause he now owns an ss and will beat my ass if i mention it and he reads this but lol all im saying is that it was a modded SER Spec-V lol i dunno how i won but i did. But hang in there.....i'm sure help will come soon!!

When did you hear the sound? Cold starts, idling, revving, etc?
I have that same sound on cold starts. I figure it to be injectors, but I just want to be sure.
