April 26, 200718 yr IT’S DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep. I killed the motor. I made a HUGE mistake of putting Marvel Mystery Oil “GAS TREATMENT” into the engine. Turned the oil into a super thin film and it leaked through all of the seal. I also developed a rod knock. Well time to find a 2.2 engine. *sigh* back to the garage. zzz
April 26, 200718 yr PSSST*that probably would have been a good place to start* The EA81 is junk when powering a lifted rig.
April 26, 200718 yr no i mean the EJ18 motor that I just put in is dead. BW Whoops! Oh well, that's the best reason I can think of to swap in an EJ22.
April 26, 200718 yr Author Found another EJ18 for $100.00 I plan to make a frankenmotor out of the dead one. Maybe 2.5 short block w/Ej18 heads or something to that effect. BW
