    Default This is what happens when you don't take care of your engine.

    We bought this '77 Beetle with a blown engine. This is what happens when you don't keep a close eye on what is going on and make sure everything is tightened to the right torque. This was a completely built 2.2l engine with everything aftermarket. Even engines put together with good parts are crap if you don't know what you are doing.

    We bought this car and engine like this and it will stay this way. Its not even worth rebuilding. So the car is getting another engine.
