Down and out (BACK AND RUNNING)

[Techman]

What kind of parts do you need? I have some parts I could hook you up with. I’m in Ft Wayne IN.

After stressing out and thrashing for the last month trying to finish up the car for the car season I am out just a mere week after getting it on the road. Drove it to work and home today with no issues. I go to leave the house 30 mins after getting home and BAM, no oil pressure. I shut it down, check everything out and don't find any obvious problems.

Pull the hose off at the back of the gauge and crank it......nothing but air and a small spurt of oil. Pulled valve covers and found silver oil. My form of therapy is dead in the water.

My truck needs tires, I need the truck paid off, saving for a house, girlfriend is dropping hints about a ring, etc....looks like I'm pulling the wheels and tires and as much as I hate it, letting it sit. Shame is I can't even sell it as it is unless I wanna take a massive loss.

Don't mind my sob story. Do a burnout for your fallen G-body brother this year.

I feel your pain. I need to do some stuff to my house, my paint/body guy is in the hospital and I expect another delay. I haven't driven my car in almost 2 years. That's crazy after I've sunk thousands into it...I could have just put 5k down on a new Camaro SS and called it a day.

I'd say get the stuff you need, let your girlfriend wait a few years for a ring....or fix up your car(s) and get a new girlfriend afterwards.

Junkyard motor time if you want to drive it.

When the transmission let go in our TBSS after Drag Week 2016. It sat from Oct 16 to Dec 17 waiting for a new transmission. I was broke AF after Drag Week and still trying to get the wagon done. I was forced to daily a '99 Taurus all that time in between transmissions... I was practically suicidal going from 11s to leftovers.

Set your priorities and come back to it when you are ready.

I feel your pain. Motor in and out three times this winter, then replaced the trans after all that. I'm always worried about every little noise it makes. Take some time and get back to it when you are ready.

figured it was engine parts. I have a 350 4 bolt block bored .040. A good crank and pistons and rods collecting dust at my house.

an engine is alot easier to diagnose and fix than a relationship so when you have a good relationship going no reason to complicate over an engine that is not going anywhere...

I feel for you but it could always be worse...no matter what
