The forged 2.0 engine now has about 500 miles on it,(2 oil changes,1st oil mineral,second oil 10/40 semi)and i removed the sump today to reseal a oil weap,and had a look at things while i was there....and 0.38mm of end float on crank.:shake:
It did have a re-grind on the crank,and new ACL bearings.
The shop who did machining have said there work is warrentied so thats good to know,and ill give them a shout monday to see what they say.
They have also done the machining on KarlosG's car and Ashill old motor(anyone know if that had a new crank or what?)and are well reputable.
Im upset. Im seriously thinking to break/sell the car. Ive not even got to put a bigger tubby on it yet.
Even if it gets repaired in warrenty id want to put a new crank in,and i dont know if i can be arsed with that.:blah:
It may be a case of run it and see if it gets worse(it will)
The car has been soo reliable since 2003 and now its annoying me.
As far as im concerned if its not reliable no more,its more of a pain than a pleasure.
Ive just spent enough on this new engine,to have it wreck itself would make it not worth keeping.
Ive had a good run with the car so far with a lot of track time in it and cant think of another car id like to own as much,it does just what i want from a car,and id only replace it with another early evo.
Thoughts? In need of motivation here peeps.
Evos. love/hate.
