  • I got a 1996 Holden vs wagon, sounds the same but cant you just replace the bearing?

  • This has happend twice to my buddies WRX. Cant be the best quality engines in the world these flat 4s.

  • Time for the dustbin, needs £2000 pounds to fix. Time for the bin.

  • it just needs to be put under a lot of load to clear it's carby, jam it in 4th at about 30kph and wide open throttle till limit, job done

  • @JuniorDan17 gold mate, total gold

  • that sounds like a piston slap dont worry carry on force it:-0

  • This is not an EJ25 or EJ257 engine, however don't let the 2.5L run out of oil, some of them consume a LOT of oil due to blow-by, and there is precious little you can do about it, just check the oil level every week, or after a hard run, and keep it topped up. Otherwise you will eat bearings. I helped a guy out the other day and he had almost no oil in his engine (an EJ251)... This seems to particularly be a problem with the thinner synthetics, but they are still the best oils to use.

  • @carbpumper i had the same problem, and i drove back to my home, after this it just died, the engine did not blew out, its like it was too tired to even start again lol

  • sounds normal!
