Default LQ9 Swapped Few Pics, 1 Vid
Well finally got done my engine swap. Took me and my brother a solid 3 weekends but shes running so I'm happy. I had the exhaust put on today and after I could actually hear the engine I had a ticking that sounds a lot like a lifter. I have the bit of sewing machine lifter noise but theres one that is much louder and out of sync with the others.

Gonna take the valve cover off tomorrow and check it out. The noise is weird from inside the car its easy to hear and coming from the passenger side, but when you get outside the car its hard to hear anything at all so my guess is its coming from the back of the engine.

Anyway heres the few pics and idle vid i took:

Engine waiting for the body to get dropped back on it




3/4 of the way in, got snagged up a bit


Rear end after the exhaust and valance is gone, I like it so much better with nothing showing out the back


The old engine

I'm still using the stock converter as I don't have another penny to put into the car this year. Its not too bad but it was a bit sketchy at first while the car was still learning to keep idle. A few times driving around when I would come to a stop the rpms would drop real low and when it went to recover the car would push right through the brakes lol. Its not so bad now that that I've been driving it, the car definitely needs a tune but its not gonna happen till next year.

Yea if you want it you can take it for 20 bucks? Idk what its worth all cracked like that. You want me to take pictures or anything before you drive to look at it?

Edit: I didnt notice it before but the cracked piece has a bunch of fiberglass smeared across the back thats holding it together. If that makes any difference to you.
