He went from eco to eco if you look at the pics of the old engine versus the new engine they are similar.

Out in 3 hours, in, and running, in 4 hours. J-BOM teamwork FTW!!

Niiice man, congrats.. I wonder what was wrong with your old engine.

just noticed i put up the pic of my real feelings on the engine bay pic twice. lol oops.

thanks guys im just happy to have her back. it dose feel much stronger now. dont know if its cause of less miles or cause its an 04 or what it might be.

i have no idea what happened to the old motor, i want to take the head apart before i get rid of this motor to find out. i have guesses of crushed valve guide, knicked valve, or bad head gasket. who knows tho.

the pewter car is for sale now. $5500 obo. its on storage ins now. was drivin 5 times all summer. just lost intrest in it i guess. eco is much more fun to drive.

Well, I went from a 2.2 ohv to a built 2.4 and honestly Id say it WOULD be worth it to do a 2.4 to a 2.2 eco swap. Better technology, lighter and the aftermarket for it is on a come up.. Id probably say its more reliable as well.. Just my opinion, Id say go for it.

Steve - if the motor is not spoken for, would you be interested in selling me the Valve cover, that way I can send it out for chrome. Or I can simply just give you my valve cover after I get yours chromed.


I just don't want to have my car undrivable in the winter in case I have to move it. Let me know.

damm, I was wondering what happend to your indigo hottness. suck about the motor though. I like your eyelids, they look mean. its time for a photoshoot of your car now its fixed.

oh shes back now feelin stronger than ever. i got a few things in store real soon. ill be sure not to let it go so long without some photo shoots.

james its pretty much spoken for but i dont think it would be a problem for it to be without a cover for a couple months.
