Yeah I paid 50 from a junkyard for one. I didn't feel like pulling it or else I could have got one cheaper.

damn..too bad the junkyards here want 70-80...for USED POS!!

i just got autozone one for 85 something..with gasket..

so i guess it's not too bad..

at least i won't have to worry about it for a LONG LONG LONG LONG Time

but the little noise is still there..

im running 10w30 Penzoil Engine Oil...

Threaded to hell?

[cvc7chris]

Threaded to hell?

it's leaking from the oil drain screw..

someone overtightened it before i bought it and now it doesn't get tight at all..
it's fucked up..i thought about taking it somewhere to get it tap'd with a bigger hole, but the new oil pan wasn't that much...so that's what im doing..

still doesn't fix my problem though with the little noise..

are you sure its not detonation? you dont use cheap gas do you?

[Losiracer2]

you sure your timing isn't off? it'll knock and ping if its off.

....... lol ya.. 87 octane or w/e

should i use 89 at least?

i have no clue on timing i never messed with that.. it's not really like knocking the WHOLE time..it's just certain times..
