so where was the oil leak from. just curious??

 

Im not 100% sure but im not going to review anything as far as that goes but i am checking into the price of another motor (block) because everything else on mine is perfectly fine...

 

anyone got any ideas on how much it would cost to get my b17a1 block fixeD?

 

if a block is cracked you don't "fix" it, you get another one. Fortunatelly, as far as I know, everything that is on the B17, is the same as the B16, except the pistons and crank (ie, the block is the same), you can always find those for super cheap. I'd either look for another B18C1 block (like someone said) or if you are really looking to save money slap a B16 bottom end on there. I guarantee it'll be cheaper to get a bottom end than to try and fix the one your mom broke.

 

I know that already its just i was asking about diff blocks but a b16 has less power than my b17 stock and if i have to go with anyone else im going b18

 

hey man same thing happen to me 1 month ago =( .freaking cold air intake, i tried to turn the car on after that happen and all i got is a loud clicking noise . anywayz i finally stopped being lazy and removed the head today im almost 99% sure its a broken rod cause my head is fine so just look into getting a block, also all you gonna need is rods buy some eagle rods and your good and back on track oh and by the way make sure you remove your head also cause i poured tons of oil on the head and change the oil on it about 4 times to get the water out and removed the plugs but when i took out the head today i found tons of water in the valves coming from the intake side and tons of water on the intake manifold. just be careful dont wanna blow your new block again.

 

Yea, im gonna bring it to a shop and let them do it over.
I dont wanna have to deal with her.

 

the reason that the rod snapped was from hydro lock. you mightbe able to salvage 3rods and pistons but the one with the snapped rod is probably their for good. I wouldnt use the same parts any way. ctr and itr pistons are to cheap not to be replaced.

 

well i went this morning and removed my oil pan to see if i can see a bent rod or something, and whatz do i see a broken rod, broken like it was a piece of wood also made a big scrach on my block hope the block is still good.

 

If the scratch isn't too deep, you may be able to get away with a hone. If it's pretty deep, you may need to bore it out and move to a larger diameter piston.
