She's Dead...

bfarrell01 · 05-12-08, 08:32 PM

Well the shop confirmed my worst nightmare. My engine has seized for whatever reason. He said without tearing it apart, he cant really tell exactly why its siezed.

So chances are, this is the death of my legend.

samblaze · 05-12-08, 08:36 PM

Sorry to hear that man

how many miles on it? Did he say anything re. the timing belt?

EDIT: Engines for as low as $250 Search Results

damn that's bad news bro...isnt seizing due to lack of oil? I had an Isuzu Rodeo that was just DUMPING oil out. One day I tried to drive it to the gas station after it had sat for a night (didnt have any oil to put in it) and about a block from my destination, the engine seized up

no chance of doing an engine swap?

*sam o nela* · 05-12-08, 08:40 PM

Yeah man sorry to hear

Engine swap is definitely possible if youre willing to put in the work....

=[
Another one bites the dust.
Sorry for your lossss...

bfarrell01 · 05-12-08, 11:01 PM

I guess its offically parting out time. Who wants a piece?

Xcaliber003 · 05-13-08, 12:17 AM

Ouch man sorry to hear it. Has the mechanic figured out why it seized yet, was it leaking oil?

GL with parting her out.

From your sig it looks like a nice, clean Legend too.

Bushido95Legend · 05-13-08, 12:31 AM

sorry to hear that. hope things turn out better.

bfarrell01 · 05-13-08, 12:52 AM

Had plenty of oil just changed it friday. Had just started it like a minute prior so it wasnt even hot. Who knows.

KAHruzer · 05-13-08, 12:54 AM

That's bad news for sure.

But, if you decide not to swap engines, I could use some of the 1987 Coupe parts which are not available on other models. In particular, the '87 Coupe, I believe is the only G1 with the brown dashtop. I'd like to make reservations for the dashtop center compartment (box around the Info Unit) with the lid that matches the dash, assuming it's in good shape.

Is your interior leather? Color?

guyad · 05-13-08, 12:57 AM

keep us up to date on when/if you're parting her out. I have a few things i need if it's a coupe.

guess that answers my question

bfarrell01 · 05-13-08, 01:10 AM

Its brown with tan leather.

guyad · 05-13-08, 01:15 AM

Dibs on rear window motor/regulator for both sides, and radio if you're parting out.

KAHruzer · 05-13-08, 01:55 AM

I would respectfully request your ThemoValve.

But, I'm detecting a bit of pensivness, here.
Wait a day and think about a JDM engine replacement, or rebuild.

We can get back to parts picking when you've decided for sure,
and a proper amount of time goes by.

Let's show some respect, fGs, a Legend has passed.
