Ok, first off I've realised today that when anything big happens to me it is pure luck. If me engine hadn't of died on me, I'd have even more problems right now.
So, today around 9am me and my dad go out and inspect the D15. Luckly its not completely shot
. What we thought were pieces of camshaft, was actually a piece of the rocker assembly. I realize the Dist I bought from AutoZone was made wrong, the teeth(connects the cam to dist.) Stick out farther then they should. Pushing the cam out of place, by like a pinch. Making the cam tear off a piece to the assembly
.
So now I'm pissed at Autozone, I call them up and tell them all this, and they say they aren't responsible for installation errors, which is bull because we put it on perfect and the piece was defective. I argue for awhile
, and after a while we get no where. So it ends with no money from them to fix it. So with an iron filer I shorten the teeth so they fit perfectly in the cam. and Luckly my dad knows about every junkyard around here. We call the yard, no awnser. So we call the owner on his personal phone(good connections FTW
). Tell him I need a rocker assembly, he says he'll go check. He hasn't called me back.
Now we have nothing to do. And I know my dad is going to have to pay for it, since I'm dead broke. So we work out a deal, I do all the work for the day and he'll cover the charges. So I did the entire engine removal from the S10, did all the work on my engine, and organize his entire shop. We are going to swap all the external parts over to the new engine and put that in tommorow. So I'm sore all over, but I've learned a great deal today.
Thanks all yall for info, offering of parts, and...nice words?...god I never thought I'd say that...
But for the moment its down, but not out. Just need to get my hands on a rocker assembly and I should be good.
