Houston, we have a problem

Oil seal is gone, thats what I get for Boosting when it was cold.

If you guys get a Supercharger or a Turboed engine, make sure she is warmed up before boosting, like my dumass.

Here is a pic.

Doh, you fool!
lol, sorry man.

Ya, I took it all apart, then it started to rain. Temp dropped down to 35, and its windy. This SUCKS.

Wow 35*, that's a heat wave! It was negative digits last night here, and about 1* out now.

Damn, I'll never complain again....NOT :grinno:

I grew up in Phoenix, so I have a right to bitch :evillol: In dead of winter, it would be sunny, and 65*. Damn I miss that weather.

Hopefull I'll get stationed in Australia, it should be about the same weather.

Australia would be cool! How much longer are you in for? Is that s/c an easy fix, once it gets warmer?

In 3 years I can retire, but if I get Australia, I will stay in a little longer.

It looks like I will have to ship it back to VORTECH if it is the oil seals. I am going to run a couple more tests, but it looks to be the oil seals.


Here is my dirty engine bay.

You gotta love that. I had a TE-44 on my car and I was driving home from peoria and I was in the left lane. Well I went to go look in my mirror to change lanes and It was gone ( My exahust ends right under my passenger side door and turns out the side.) So was the veiw out of my window. Well the oil seal on the turbine side went to hell in a hand basket. it smoked sooooo bad pepole where telling me to roll down my window and they would tell me that my car is on fire! It sucked

DAMN!!!I love that engine bay!!!!I'm so sick of seeing spotless,immaculately chromed and detailed cars that don't ever get used.People rag on me all the time about my daily driver because of the way it looks.Doesn't matter what it runs,it just ain't pretty.

"Mad props" for your REAL car

PS sorry to go off-topic
