Alright the shop has my engine in has one spun rod bearing right..
this guy keeps telling me i need a new block ?
because it spun a cam bearing too or something, and hes like " ohj well we could be new cam bearings and cam setup but it might not last that long blah blah then you will have to have it line bored and oversize bearings".
he has never had experience with the 3.8 anyways.. but.
his "technician" told him the rods arent forged, yet the guy who owns the place said he hasnt looked at them yet, and i asked if they tested it for being non-magnetized or whatever and he didnt even really know.
then he said someone who rebuilt it put the pistons in the wrong order ,
so hes trying to get me to get forged pistons and new rods and all this ~~~~..
not to mention a whole new short block... im kind of irritated.
and he doesnt know these cars, so trying to find an engine woo fun stuff.
I need someone or something who has been in quite a few of these to like call this guy or something ? and ask him what is going on and what you have seen.
It feels like hes trying to suck more useless money from me.. and really i just want the damn thing to drive now before this starts costing well over 2K.
PLEASE help let me know ASAP.
