just to bitch and vent!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh

ok.. so this is me just bitching about shit.. cause i want to vent... so im sitting on my ass like 2 weeks ago and my friend comes in and asks me if i want to do a motor swap for his friend that blow up her motor.. she said she would pay 1500 if i pay for the engine.. so i said sure what the hell i can use a few hundred... it was a simple simple simple swap.. its a little mazda 626 2.0... there really is nothing to the damn thing.. it should have taken me like 6 hours.. but oh no it all started with taking off the exhast.. the bolts where already stripped out.. took me like 45 minuts to get them off.. looking around i noticed she threw a rod.. out the front was a big big hole and out the bottem there was a hole... so i figured thats why it didnt run.. but then i started to undo the wire harness.. and every thing was melted.. and the wires where extreamly brital.. and the clips where melted together! ahhh verry anoying!and so i started wondering why the hell a buch of her wires where melted and i looked at the water pump and the belt was gone.. so i found out that she totaly over heated her engine to distruction! then when i get to the torque converter bolts that you get to through the hole left by the starter i find out that the engine does not turn over at all.. it is freakin seized!!! ahhh so i cant turn the motor over to get all the bolts off.. so i pull the oil pan and spacer and planed on undoing the rod caps... they used a 12 point 10mm socket.. in all of my tools can you guess what tool i was missing.. i have the 11+mm 12 points and the 9-mm 12 points but i was missing the damn 10 so i went to the store 3 stores to find one.. when i get back i go to take off one of the ends and i find that it is bent so the bolts will not come out... i had to torque the heads of the bolts off! and then smash the living shit out of the pistion to get it to brack loose.. finaly i got it to turn over and got all the torque converter bolts off! so after carfuly taking off all tranny bolts i get the new cherry picker i bought and start to asemble it.. it was missing peices..i didnt even notice until i tryed to pull the motor and just bent the damn thing!! it was late saterday night so i just called it a day.. then sunday the store was closed (damn utah and mormons not wanting to work on sundays!) ahhh so i took it back and after getting a buch of shit from harbor and fraight manager i get my new one and im on my way home and asemble it! (with all the peices) again i go to pull the motor and i ant for the life of me get the damn thing out! honestly im going to sound retarted but i was trying to get the damn fly wheel to clear the bell houseing for like 4 hours i got to the point that i was thowing tools at stuff! i was pissed! so i called it a day again.. tuesday i come and i have a friend come help me pull it and with a large pry bar we finaly get the motor out!! the motor i orderd came in and go to put it in.. and it slides in like a charm then i line up the torque conveter bolts and i try to pinch them threw the holes on the fly wheel but they would not go! (again.. anether stuped me.. but i spend a full day trying to get that damn thing on) then i pulled it out again and pulled out the torque converter and the holes where 1/8 inch off! ahhhh thats why. so i swaped fly wheels and it goes right on thank god!! then i go to bolt on the botom bolts to the bell housing and the spacer was the wronge one! it didnt line up! and i cant use the old one cause she put a big hole it it with a rod and the place i got the motor said fuck you your on your own! and now i have to wait till tuesday to have the damn thing fixed! ahhh i have spend like 45 hours on this damn thing and still am not done! oh my god im pissed!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

oh man i wish! that would have been one expencive motor swap!! haha

OMFG!!!!!!!!! i finaly get all the stupid shit in the god damn car.. and now i have no spark!!! WTF! not plugs.. not wires... i dont havea fucking clue! ahhhhhhhh! this is so fucking gay!!!!!!

i can't belive the engine got that bad. how could she not notice any of those problems? surely it would've sounded weird or she would've noticed her engine heat gage was above normal or something..

no kidding! i will post some pictures just so show some some of what happend... and im not 100% sure but when the belt comes off the runs your alternator.. doesnt the battery light come on and check eninge? lit does on all of my cars... but what ever... my only explaination is that its a girl... (no offence girls)

ok this one is the crank pully (look at all the melted plastick.. it had to be hella hot)
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e165/jason_bet/mazda626001.jpg
This one is a little harder to tell.. it is the remainder of the crank position senser (that use to be 3 wires!)

wow... just, wow.

if its got you this worked up, you should ask for more money

no kidding, it still doesnt run, ask for more money before you finish. a few hundred bucks isnt worth 45 hours of work like that.

still not running.. somthing is wronge with the electrical system.. and i dont have all the tools to deal with that stuff.. i know its not sparking.. and i dont know if the crank sensor is working or not.. i told her im done.. i told her i put the new motor in and it doesnt run.. i told her it has nothing to do with the engine (cause it has good compression) I told her to take it to a place and have them figure out what is wronge with the electrical system.. she is getting it tomorrow! i feel bad.. but its not my fault.. she fucked her on car up..

Probably the crank sensor yeah. You were getting fuel for sure?

That's some wicked damage there. Wow.

I used starter fluid in the intake to make sure.. so yeah.. I didnt get the other hole on camera.. There where 2 big holes!

this just makes it all the better.. so today.. she didnt answer her phone when i called her to have her pick up the car.. and latter on her ex husband called me.. and bitched and bitched and tryed to tell me that because i didnt get the car running that he shouldnt have to pay me! im like wow dude.. im charging you like nothing compared to what i should be charging you! and i was like i put the new fucking motor in the damn car! he is like im not paying you to put somthing in that doenst work.. and he could just not grasp the idea of his electrical system being fried was his fault! he is like in work when you quote someone for somthing you have to do it for that price! i was like wow wow wow.. first off all your a dumb ass.. its a fucking quote not a contract.. second if you want to play that game i just said i would install the motor i didnt say make it run.. i will take back all the belts and shit that i got for it and then charge you the same amount if you really want! then i was like there where a lot more problems on this thing then just doin the normal swap.. and he is like well thats your problem not mine! ahhhh long story short he is telling me that he doesnt think he should have to pay me for the work i have done! and telling from are convo i dont think he is planing on it! if thats the case im going to pull the motor out that he got and sell it on ebay.. make a few hundred... im sure he will bitch cause it cost him like 750 for it.. but fuck.. im not just going to let him take the car with out paying for all the shit i have done! any ideas of what i should do?

sell the whole thing, and say you never recieved it?

Did you put anything on paper? Just chop the shit and sell it all :p

we didnt put shit on paper.. its all a verbal agreement.. mmwwhahahahaha :evillol: yeah so im trying to think how they could come after me if i just take all the shit out of it and give it back to them.. hmm...

pull the motor, and refuse to fix it until he pays you two thirds of what he owes you now, and charge another couple hundred dollars so you can buy a new electrical system. he bought the engine right, hes not gonna come get the car without the engine in it...

I say let it sit around for a while and get an abandonment title and then sell the POS on E-bay for 22 cents,after you take the motor out and put it on e-bay for profit. then just kick him in the nuts and call it a done deal, as for the wife that fried the car, just punch her in the titties, that leaves you with some sort of profit, a lesson learned, and two bruised titties and one pair less of useless douchbag friends.
