Well I worked on it a bit in the downpour we had tonight, laying in like 4 inches of water lol.

Got it to turn over! I am not getting spark though... Gave up, hooked up the power steering and went inside to dry, I am still water logged.

TechJeeper · April 26, 2009, 10:53:45 AM

very funny... would be funnier if it wasn't true... I am so angry right now. It ran.. for a bout 5 seconds, really rough, now its seized. Guess that's what I get for buying a used motor.. and yes it had oil and oil pressure.

Nosilla · April 26, 2009, 09:17:51 PM

Are you sure it seized? Sounds odd for running for 5 seconds..... You can't turn over the engine by hand with like a breaker bar?? If it is seized then the guy that you bought it from needs a kick in the junk.

TechJeeper · April 26, 2009, 09:27:10 PM

The crackshaft pully has a nut on it, i put my lugwrench on it, and a breaker, it aint budging. The guy I got the motor from got screwed too, he decided to go a 4.0 swap instead of the 2.5, after buying this "rebuilt" 2.5.... Live and learn...
