Most trusted

Reaches for popcorn...

 

i came home from work for this!

 

it was actually a bad main bearing, so you were wrong as well....

 

IIRC i heard someone say main bearing in that video.

anyway back on track here, i would trust most of the members to work on my car. Matt/Brian/Ben/Mike/Chux.... there are alot of capable people on here, who all know what they are doing.

 

thats the bottom line, this isnt the thread for who NOT to go to.

 

fran is talking about the 2.0 engine, not the vid of the 2.5 at the ice races.

 

Your 2.0 wasnt a rod bearing, i just asked brian.

 

wow looks kind of like justin said that fran is right.......... dident say other wise????????

 

yeah i know.. i was just clearing some things up for people. most people probably think fran is talking about the most recent blow up at the ice races...he is/was not. it was down at firestone a few day before the 2.0 blew.

ah...no.

 

then?..........

 

Maybe if you would have been there the whole time, and not just poking your head in and out of the conversation...you would have heard me say that the noise was coming from UNDER the alternator. And it did sound like a timing belt tensioner.

So NO, you were not right either....because it wasn't a rod bearing. It was a spun main bearing. I'm not saying the rod bearings were still good, but the main bearing was the one that spun.

I'll admit that i'm not always right, but who are you to come around talking trash.

 

most likely. after fire stone

 

yeah i didnt think you said anything about it being the alternator but i couldnt remember exactly cause that was so long ago. do you remember you saying something about the tensioner though.

jason - no i believe it was the main bearing on the 2.0 and possibly a wrist pin bearing on the 2.5(yet to be taken apart)

 

all I can say is....

^^^ nice! this thread could use some humor

thanks man!

 

I love these cat pictures. Keep 'em coming!

 

No, I hadn't. Thanks!:biggrin:

 

Brian at the minnetonka dealership did my clutch a while ago and i couldn;t be happier with it.

 

summary......

pretty much someone who KNOWS what they're doing?

 

bikerboy did a 30K service on my STi last Friday. After talking to him for 5 minutes it was obvious he knows his shyte. Was referred to him from some members here and hadn't met him before then, so I'm not just trying to steer you towards a longtime buddy or anything. Very professional, guarranteed his work, and put up with me asking him beginner questions for 3+ hours . Not to mention the fact that he saved me an a$$-load of money vs having the same service done at a dealership.

I also had my motor built by bikerboy and he does a really good job. all i can speak from is my own personal experience and matt has did a very good job.
