    Default So I cracked my block!

    Umm yea, so I was driving to the V tonight doing 75 just cruising and I get a phone call from Halfbaked, who is following me, and right as I look down to answer it I hear a big band and tons of white smoke. I then pull over to the side of the road and answer the phone and Matt was like, "yea, I was gonna tell you that your car is smoking really bad all the sudden" but it was a little too late. I was fucked. At first I really just thought the oil filter had just popped off and thats what mad the car die and lose compression, what not. But after heavy drinking and stress I went to the car later after being towed and got under the car and look for the problem and found it. My block has a nice size hole in it. But it almost looks like a small part that can be replaced, I would have to talk more to SR guys, but when I looked under it the part that was broken was bolted on to the bottom of the block right beside the transmission. But who knows, this really puts a damper on my trip next week out of the country since I have no money and I was 2 days away from selling this car for a good amount but we will see what I can do with this. But here are some pictures.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, my beautiful baby is gone!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have just listen to Jenna (my wife, Jennazee) and taken the lexus.....

    dont sweat it.... i'm sure you can cop a SR block somewhere fairly cheap.... orrr word on the street is that half baked is building one so just pull the old swaparoo and no one would ever know. Just blame it on kainejuice and you'd be straight.

    it'll make more power too haha since the higher compression.

    use your stock valve cover and baam you got yourself a brand new one shazaam hahah sell it

    kinda fucked up but it'll work

    haha you can get a sentra longblock for under 200 bux from pull apart or craigslist hahahaha

    Mr. Kidd was selling his fully built SR block for ridiculously cheap. I'm not sure if it already sold though.

    Thanks for all the support everyone and good words. Right now I am going out of the country for a week so when I return I am going to get this car fixed and sell that car and officially get out of the game. I'm tired of these damn cars always fucking up on me. This is my second blown engine in a 240, the 2jz 240 just had numerous other problems, my rb25 never fucking ran right. So I am just getting out. My lexus is staying stock and that is the way I like it.

    No, I've been saying this for a long time. After having 5 different 240s, 2 cracked blocks, one 2jz with everything wrong with it known to man, and a Rb25 that never fucking ran right Im done with this all. Ive got my Lexus, its an automatic, (my first ever) it has cupholders, (also a first for me) and it rides pretty smooth and I like it. So I'm gonna fix this 240 get it gone and just chill with the lexus.

    Sticky will cost you $5. In the future, when the tach reaches all the big numbers in red..... it's time to shift. Maybe they don't teach that in driver's ed these days, but take this old timers advise.... Do it... do it.
