Not a good idea to "guess" when it comes to tuning. That's how shit blows up. jabartram is 100% right about analyzing some scans.

well, five and half years after the build and probably 60k miles the car is pretty much dead. my brother is telling me it hardly runs and is making all kinds of clanking noises when it is running. he took it to a shop and the guy said the motor is pretty much toast. it's not smoking out of the exhaust so i am thinking maybe the timing chain went. not sure what he is going to do. i suggested taking it down to dayton and milzy to see what he says. a new motor from milzy is about $1500 plus install and he may transfer over the performance parts that aren't ruined. what a history.

ugh, I'm glad I got rid of my Alero when I did.

If you had fun wasting the car, the car was not wasted

I feel bad for my brother since he only got about 6 months of life out of it.
