The results are in. Somebody kille my 97SS.

With only 8k on the odom; modded by pro mech with best parts; never abused, and yet the SOB died Sunday.

Apparently the bearings went south and the oil pressure dropped or vice versa. At any rate I feel cheated.

I tried to do all the best for this thing and it still went to hell.

Mech. says he will try to get a short block and use my heads, cam, etc to rebuild.

But I am too gun shy now. I will probably just get rid of the thing when it is fixed. I couldn't take having it go south when I don't even know how it could happen.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

You have over 2800 posts and apparently found a way to register at this website a full 30 years before it was created. Why be so quick to cut and run on a car you obviously love?

Just have them put together a mild rebuild...something pretty reliable, and just enjoy the car?

 

yes bubba hang in there dude, mistakes happen and im sure this is yr case, im had buck luck with my car, **** started happeing at only 17k on it, a little work and tLc and she's fine now

 

Thanks guys. I just don't know what happened. I am really concerned that if it could happen this easily, that it might happen again with a rebuild.

There really was no obvious warning. Just started knocking, losing power, and that was it.

Only 8 thousand %##*&$((, easy miles and I need a new engine. Where's the justice.
