    Thoughts on the air raid jr? By most here I see good things. I was looking at kn or even volant that comes with a new air box. But I'm sure the air raid jr with stock air box would do well. Stock box isn't so restrictive as the stock system to the throttle body.

    Got a written diagnosis from the shop also, just because I wanted it all documented and to be done right.

    agreed! New motor plus 3 yr warranty on a 14 year old vehicle. Not a bad deal by any means.

    Hey I'm no vehicle mechanic I can just say if this said gentleman has ever told me anything on a vehicle I can take it to the bank. Built several dirt track motors for my dad, but again I guess that's why he wants to hook it up and put it on a rack and really take a good look. I believe you...

    Oh no doubt, I got a writeup from a mechanic shop stating there diagnosis and what it would cost me. Versus what a motor would cost and such. Mechanic shop told me buy a motor lol so they wrote up a diagnosis. I just think my dads buddy is saying save some labor money since he's paying for the...

    New motor comes with 3 year or 100,000 mile warranty. Directly from my dad's warehouse he's an auto parts owner of 25 years. Yes he's willing to buy the motor if I foot the labor. Which is fine because I'll get labor around 600$ which is unheard of around here. Going rate it 1000-1300 to pull a...

    And this is from this morning. Maybe a 12 hour sit since last night lol. It's gotten worse and worse since I got it. Mainly drips from hot to cooldown of course the oil isn't as thick at that point but I don't want a vehicle that leaks at all if I can help it. Spot on side of paper towel is just...

    Well they called it "microscopic" but I thought the same thing. I think the crankshaft is going myself.

    Man, I'm onto my third opinion now. First opinion stated there were already some shavings in my oil and that I needed a motor. I saw the light flakes with my own eyes, 2nd and third opinion said they saw the shavings but it was normal wear for an engine with those miles. All three had the same...
