Well 196,000km and Monera is not sounding too well.

would suck if it dropped a valve

theres something to be sed about flat heads you know...

[ZR]

Flat heads stick valves, same but only different.

Whatever caused the failure -_- It suck knowing the failure was during a simple gear shift between 3 and 4 doing 80km at literally 3000 rpm and not hurling ass in 2nd at 5600 rpm.

Oh well, When the new engine is in, I can have a piece of mind that I will be the one to have maintenance at a young age!

so you drove it with issues... first rule is to stop driving when something doesn't feel right to prevent further damage. if anything throw a coyote motor in it

[Ponyryd]

Lol, ^ I've read that twice in here, car has issues, stop driving, well I for one have been driving mine with the check engine light on and catalytic converter rattling for months.

bit dif if you know the issue and isn't a huge one that would cause your engine to pop

[ZR]

More likely than not, damaged when it first hiccupped n started to run poorly. On the flip side, general rule of thumb, if it feels bad, stop driving asap.

[Monera3v]

Agree, I should of called CAA.

Next engine will be babied

Oh I KNOW mine could cause the engine to pop, but I don't care to fix it so just gonna drive till it stops, lol.
But for the record, I've driven with misfires many times, my current car misfires when it rains, I still give er though, like I said, don't care to fix it, lol.
I don't baby anything, drive it like you stole it or take the bus

Technology is good but also sux.
