Sorry about the 960 engine but maybe it’s not a rod? Link us to the thread here since we don’t often visit the RWD guys

“ He who would pun would pick a pocket”

I have finally concluded it was the differential grinding and vibrating when I bought the car and after I replaced the carrier support bearing. The resistance from the rear diff through the driveshaft wore out the transmission, breaking it while shifting from Low to Third gear. Then after turning the engine about 4 inches forward, I tried to start it and it through something out the front ride side of the block wall.

Well your mom may no longer be a fan if her pun maker starts pickpocketing

I never notice any, nor after idling for extended periods, but then the engine is bone dry so it has to be going somewhere. It passed a glove test a few weeks ago, too. Consumption is rather odd in a way though, it previously used to go through 1L or so in <1000 miles and then wouldnt move for another 1000mi. I do wonder if I have the wrong dipstick or similar, but I cant find enough info on the matter.

Went to the junkyard today for a spare wheel/tire, because I hate donut spares and thought I show a few highlights.

: I've been hitting this car for the past month. I rescued the spoiler for its mounting clips and mad that I left the volvo roof rack but I didn't have my drill to take out the locks.

I'm sorry I didn't have enough cash on me because this car had a complete set of good hakkapelitta snows mounted on its rims. So I had to get the same wheel off another car.

Just for the curious, this yard charges $75 for a tire mounted on a alloy wheel.

Got a hood today, just need a radiator support now. I'll get that at some point this coming week. Unfortunately all of them I saw today were too beat for my liking.

Hmm... something looks a little off here...

Ah, that's better!

Had to dispose of the trash.

WHAT!? That's nuts... most yards charge $25 + a $10-$15 core for an alloy with a tire. $20 and no core if the tire is shot.
