wait a minute.
v6?
Yessir. I bent two rods so its getting a fresh build.
That looks like a giant bore for your little car. That thing must scoot. Whats the rebuild gonna be?

I saw what happened on FB man. I know that must have sucked. But I'm glad you're making the best of it. Best of luck with the build. Can't wait to see how everything turns out!
By the way, did you figure out for sure exactly what caused the motor to F up?
Nothing crazy basically a stock rebuild with some new parts. I can't afford forged so I'm just going to use some rods out of another motor I have. Going to mill the heads to gain a little compression, and possibly port the heads too.
And James it was a stuck open injector. Hydrolocked the motor basically.
i like the way you think now.Originally Posted by DeeAOne

oh nice gl bro
thanks everyone.
if it wasnt my DD id probably save a little money and do a high(er) compression all motor build, but i need my car.
that sucks but make it a bigger beast this time.
Read posts #6 and #10. It's a DD and he just needs a running motor more than anything.
Is that a 3L?!
Its a tiny 2.5L. It gets the job done though because my car is relatively light. Its around 2250lbs.
Nice. If it's compatible, a 3L from the Taurus would be stout. 3L swaps are common among the Contour chassis.
That is.......in the future anyways.
the Vulcan 3L isnt a bad engine at all, but imo it wouldnt be considered an upgrade to me. its larger(heavier), and makes less power and torque than my KL does stock for stock. also since the KL has a short stroke for a V6 it revs decently high.
Same reason I went from my 2.2L sohc to 2.0dohc. Better power stock to stock, and revs 1k higher.the Vulcan 3L isnt a bad engine at all, but imo it wouldnt be considered an upgrade to me. its larger(heavier), and makes less power and torque than my KL does stock for stock. also since the KL has a short stroke for a V6 it revs decently high.
Any twin turbo'd KLs?
you should be! it should definitely be ready for IA this year.
thannks man.
i always thought the people that had them were one-off pieces. i could be wrong though. lol
there are a few floating around Austrailia. Never seen any in the states. one of the most popular ones is in a holden commodore. makes something like 800whp on 28lbs. revs to 9,500rpms.
Good shit there. Keep it up.
Let me know when your finish!That happen to me before also!

lol. I can't go more than .020 without a tune or adjustable cam gears which don't exist. Timing would be off without it/them.
Will do. I'm guessing its common with side feed injectors. I've never heard of it until I got into these motors.
timing gear do exist!how much for them is a different story!lol
im so excited!
I like your car it's different ftw!

Good luck man, when do u think it will be done?
hopefully in the next few weeks. its pretty much a waiting game right now. im getting the heads shaved, but i cant get the heads back until i get the gasket set which hasnt come in yet, because im getting valve seals done too.
my piston rings and my adjustable fuel pressure regulator came in today. thats about it.
what brand regulator did you get??
ebay. couldnt afford the aeromotive one i wanted.
still waiting on the heads. should have them back tomorrow. then the fun can begin! lol

Maybe...lol. should be dropping it in tonight.
Looks like we are in the same spot with empty bays. Yours will be running before mine though. But I should have the motor in this weekend. I wanna see this car in person soon.!

Lookin good bro. Did you do all the milling and polishing yourself or did you take it somewhere local?
The probe has the KLDE, the usdm version of mine. The KLZE is jdm.
I got them .025 over. It's non interference so you can mill up to .055 with no problems.
Reeves performance over on Green St. did the work.
