You had best take that **** back to where you bought it from, with a sample of the oil ... And DEMAND that they pay for the parts ... throw your weight around a little bit, talk about a lawyer, and maybe theyll give you the $$$ To fix it since they sold it f-ed up ... if not, beat their asses lol ... When all else faisl , get violent. Then fix your car, Id flush it all with oil, buy cheap .99$ oil, fill it up, run it for a minute, shut it off drain it, .... Fll up again with .99$ Walmart oil, run for like 5 mins, a few minor revs , change it again, ( To Flush ALL the coolant out ) and then fill it up with some good quality oil ... I wouldnt touch the bottom , why spend money if you dont nessicarly have too ? And thn go easy on it to make sure everything is ok ...

 

I agree with TheHeadFL. I just pulled my motor yesterday and I spun 2 bearings...4 and 8. They all looked kinda hammered though. I only have 79K on my motor. As for what it sounded like, mine ran fine when cold but when hot its like someone knocking on a wooden door. TOK, TOK, TOK, TOK.

Any questions just ask. (good experience) S.J.S.

 

WHen my brother owned his GTA he spun the bearings. I can't remember ANY strange sounds. All I remember is that the car wouldn't move any faster than about 50mph. Then it would start pinging real bad.
