Noisy lifters on 2.7L XT-6
LeakingOil replied to MG McAnick's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I used, MMO and seafoam, oil was Valvoline high milage 10W40 (not syn)...don't get me wrong...these are great products, but I believe it's not always the best solution. Not sure what happened to the engine. Just made a clank noise, lights faded on then faded off, got to the side of the road and then lights came on and smoke poured from the bay. When cleared enough to see somewhat there it was a big hole right there behind my alt. and the rod was laying cock-eyed in it...can't tell you what happened until total tear down, but I had the tick for a long time until she wanted to tick no more. Hocrest drove it the day before and said it was running fine. It was fine up until the big boom. Things I've been reading since my problem is that the oil pump gasket will get "sucked" in partly and that causes the air to get into it and thus the ticking and with time it eventually gets sucked in lots and I think that's what happened to me. We''ll see in time. I'm still learning. Smiles, Melis -
Noisy lifters on 2.7L XT-6

My past experience is...can stuff works for so long. I used it, it helped a bit and then one day *BOOM* big hole in my block, rod flew up smacked the coolant bar and vvvvwalla..XT6 waiting for new engine. As soon as I can tear into the blown one I'll post up pics. Proper fixes always best, can stuff is only a band-aid. Oh yeah...my Mickey Mouse seal cost me $15+ chang at the dealer. I miss my baby!

M&M if you should travel again give me a shout. (I'll bring my crayola map this time:lol: ) Jesse...Jesse...your company as usual was totally missed! Smiles, Melis

Dude! I got the 3Door from Paulyburger...it had no tags...nothing (hell, not even a tranny before Hocrest and I got there...that's another story) It had CT stickers on the windshield and PA plates, but I got it to Pottsville (about 3 hr.drive) with no problems. As long as you don't do something stupid when driving you'll be fine. As long as you have the plate and a battery your good to go. Paulyburger wouldn't steer you wrong.

Northeasterly meet in June or July.
LeakingOil replied to Tin Soldier's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Sounds good...I'm always up for meeting people in the area. What date have you decided on (if any yet)? -
I love mine! I would give up one of my other cars quicker than I would my 6. The problem with the steering is usually the brushes. They wear down and they are cake to replace. Most people don't have air any more, but I couldn't live without mine. It makes the ride so much better (have to experience it to appreciate it). There are sites dedicated to this unique ride...the one I frequent is XT6.net Smiles, Melis

replacement keys @ the dealer
LeakingOil replied to Buddy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Dealer will redo keys by VIN # costs $5 + tax (I get them done all the time), but if you've ever had the ignition changed you've got a problem. If you've got a key at all then they will just cut it for you. Smiles, Melis -

LeakingOil replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Tragic and great all at the same time. Wanted to say I'm very glad you escaped with minor damages. As the rest said if there is anything you need let us know and we'll do our best to help you. Your BRAT was sweet...and I have a feeling you'll be back in one in no time God speed on the healing. -
Awww Paulyburger! You know I'd swerve your way anytime...you are treat to hang with. Your boy is adorable and speaks better than most 25 ond older people I know Getting back home was a pain in the rectum though! Snow came out of nowhere and 2 vehicles were ditched on the side of the road resting against brush and such...poor babies <shoulda bought Soobs!!!!> Made it home with those beautiful Legacy GT wheels and the thoughts of the RX kit:drunk: As always you made my day! I'll be in touch to seal the deal. Connie, your man seems like a sweetheart... Happy for you sweets! See ya soon. Smiles, Melis
