Has anyone on here every seen the episode of Canada on Strike from South Park? I'm to the point where Steven Abootmen starts crying because he is a failure.
In spring I changed my transmission fluid and checked it etc. Then I hoisted my car, jack stands, to change to my new fake GNX rims. At some point I pushed my ebrake. I was doing another check, I was checking to see if my efan worked. So I got in the car push the brake and put it in drive and I figured I would build a pound or two of boost. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but I did have it on 4 jack stands and a jack in the front on the chassis "cross member" and the other on the rear diff. So all in all it was supported by the 4 jack stands and the jacks were a hair lower, not really supporting any weight. Anyway, I was not paying attention to the read parking break light on right in front of me. I was paying attention to my laptop with PL. So I built a few lbs of boost and like a fool I let off the brake with the ebrake engaged. Remember the wheels weren't on the ground. As soon as I released the foot brake, I heard pop. I tried pressing the brakes again and there was no pressure. Then I realized what I had done. The rear wheel cylinder on the right side was ripped out and snapped the brake line. Ok, I found a two piece replacement at Napa, so I didn't have to pull the rear axle to put a new backing plate on. It was destroyed. Based on the advise of some I chose to buy the one piece backing plate and replace it. So I had Aggressive Performance pull the rear axle and replace the the backing plate. Brakes are fine now. Sorry for so much information.
Now when the engine is in P or N, it sounds fine but when I put it into gear it sounds bad. I can't describe the sound. So I was wondering, if the brake was quickly released and the engine was under the load of the brake and then broke free and was not on a road surface, could the potential enegry and sudden release of the engine under load to just the load of the rotating parts broke something in the engine. There is no oil leaking, nor is there any thing in the oil. I drained about a quart and took a look at it. I'm not sure what to think. I'm going to look and make sure my accessory bracket is tight and no broken bolts. Any thoughts, before I pull my engine.
I deserve the "Bonehead of the Year Award" again. In 08, I didn't top off my alky. Blew a headgasket. In 09 I took car out in sub zero weather and didn't wait for it warm up and I thnk my Alky wasn't misting and I destroyed my engine block. Then I turned it over and sent all the metal peices through my oiling system and had to have my turbo rebuilt. In 2010, I got great deal on a motor. It came out of a runnng car and I got the shortblock with heads. All I needed to do was bolt my intake on it and drop it in. Instead I pulled the heads and had Aggressive put my ported heads and intake on it. Then I get it home and I ask someone to move motor when it was still on the engine stand and they dump it. I had to replace a valve cover. Then instead of putting my motor in my car, I figured I would clean it up a little. Well I replaced all the suspension and steering linkage. Then in 2011, once I had it back together I took it to a local shop and had them bleed the brakes and they didn't know what they were doing and over filled the reservoir and brake fluid went all over my freshly painted chassis. Then I took it Aggressive to have my PL and WBO2 installed and as it turned out a lot of bolts were lose, including the flexplate to the converter. So for safety reasons Aggressive doubled checked all my bolts. Somehow I managed to crack the balancer on the front. So I got my car back last year at the end of the summer and it was running great. I put less than 25 miles on it. After all that work. Now I did this and I may be up craps creek w/o a paddle. I can't spend anymore money on this car.
