motor blew
 
Ok so in march i bought a 2001 two door, drove it for about 4 months and it started knocking i checked the oil and it was about a quart low, added oil then it blew??? i wasn't very happy that car is my baby and now i am debating on dropping another 2.4 in it or go custom with a 3.8 stage two supercharger??? what should i do i am missing my baby and i want to get her running gain any advice or suggestions on what i should do?????????

it blew = ?

Parts scattered around the ground, gaping holes in the engine, it runs but poorly, it doesn't turn over, what?

JLw7123 10-18-2009 02:29 PM

how did u know that the engine is blown

twagn 10-18-2009 02:34 PM

Added a quart of oil and then it blew..:eek: What kind of oil was that?

Alerojester 10-18-2009 02:41 PM

it won't turn over, bottom end is seized. i added 5w30 to it

Alerojester 10-18-2009 03:11 PM

i mean i love my 2.4 for the gas milage, i keep getting told to scrap the car and get a different one but i love it so much that i just want to get it running and keep it running without this problem, so we looked at the motor after it seized and found out that it wasn't even the factory motor its a junk yard motor with bad sensors, that could be why it never told me that it was low on oil....... should i keep with the 2.4 or what???? i want a one of a kind car here in Iowa there are a bunch of them here with body kits and rims and small mods but nothing with nonfactory motor in them...... i want to drop the supercharged 3800 in it but i don't know if that would be wise i would love some perspective of my fellow forum people........

i've heard its a crap load of work to get the 3800 to work/fit properly.

i'd get another 2.4 and build/boost it.

twagn 10-18-2009 03:17 PM

3.5 dual cam Intrigue motor would be cool if it fit

Alerojester 10-18-2009 03:22 PM

boosting the 2.4 was my other idea, i have found another motor for $500 with 94k miles on it which is 400 miles less than mine has... I mean boosting it would be fun it would be the only one where i live.

you must beat the living piss out of it...... 101K miles!?!

i bought my alero with 95000km on it. it was a 2002 with a 2.2 ecotec. at 99000km (61500) the motor blew... sorta. burned 5L of oil in 4000km. and i didn't know that it burned all the oil already.

yup. i got it, checked the oil. it was full. went on a vacation and didn't check it. and then it ran with no oil. but it was still covered by warrant. paid 7k for the car. the new motor cost 7k, all i had to pay was $110 for the deductable

Redog 10-18-2009 11:18 PM

the 3800 is way overrated.

Yes it can fit, yes it can be fast, yes it's not worth the work IMO when a 2.4 or a 3400 and be built the same

jayson_waltz 10-19-2009 03:10 AM

no to 3.8, go with another 2.4. my 2.4 spun a bearing and bent a rod at 94,000 miles so don't feel to bad, and that was 6 days after i bought it :( . it was abused b4 i had it, old rental car from somewhere in nj according to the gm dealer records. i just stuck in another 2.4 with only 30k on it at the time out of a wrecked 98 cav and $800 bucks later it worked great again. 10k later and it still runs great. i love how my engine only has ~40k on it :)
