original engine had done about 130,000 kms and blew up because i dropped a washer down the intake manifold (f**k you to anyone who laughs) and started it
engine was in pretty shocking condition though, last owner didnt take very good care of it so wasnt that horrible (engine had oil leaks everywhere
and now i have a new engine thats done about 50,000
i found my last engine would backfire a bit at around 7-8000revs and also had a fair bit of power loss
so im guessing that if you cant feel there is something wrong with your engine that it isnt going to die soon
where did you get the new one only 50k that sounds really rare!!!
Why start your engine if you know something was in the engine! I had back luck similar to yours ages ago as well! I was walking past the front of the car while shoving a drill bit into the drill. It slid out and went under the inlet manifold and dropped into the timing case! Didn't start my engine but gave me and excuse to change the timing belt!
i dunno my dad found the engine somehow.
i didnt realise it was in there.
it was pretty funny after awhile
