R.I.P. Blown Motor. It was good run, girl. You will be missed.
Hey, everyone.
I'm not sure if anyone still remembers me, but I use to post alot on this forum. Jet A4 days if anyone remembers. Anyways....
Story:
A few weeks ago, my car started starting funny. Misfiring at cold start. After the motor warmed up, everything ran fine. I assume it was either a bad gasket or worst. Well it turned out to be worst.
I'm driving to work the other day and about to take the exit, I heard a horrible sound. The same sound I heard in many ride alongs gone bad. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw crap flying out and hitting the car behind me and I immediately turned off the motor. After pulling over, I watch in horror as the engine blood trickle on the highway 520.
After towing my car to a local shop, they said there was a hole on the side of the block.
151800 miles. Chipped at 50k, K04 001 at 70k. K04 020+ T3 hybrid at 80K. The rest is history.
Now I need a new block. Or a used block. Does anyone know if a AWP block would fit on my ATC head?

I've got an AMU block (and crank).
$200 plus shipping. Needs a bit of a clean up. It was cryo-treated, but then sat in a garage for a year, so it's got some surface rust.
