This is my "OG" screen name. I've used this since '99 on sites like Stangnet and such.

As a hobby I study ancient Egyptian culture, religion and history.

Osiris is the name of a principal God. The shoe of the same name is not my inspiration.

Hmmmmm A bit faster than i have seen any stock Gen 2 run.
:shrug:

92 MTX's are known as the facotory freaks, there are faster Stock MTX's then mine, 14.8 is common for ageing 92's in good condition, in fact there is a fella that goes 14.7, i dont know who it is , or where he ran it, but i have heard a lot of talk on the SHOforum

 

[Ryan]

DukeofSHO ran a 14.7 @ 95 bonestock...........saw it myself


BTW you know you can replace your rod/main bearings in the car, don't have to replace the engine?

 

[SHOspazz92]

Ya, i know, but from what we have been told that is expensive, and it would be nice to get a newer motor so if we decide to keep it instead of getting another SHO we dont have to worry about it being a high mileage motor (171k).

 

[Ryan]

Expensive? DIY for like 200ish.......and alot less work than putting a new motor in.

 

[ND4SPDSHO]

$40 for the Clevite bearings from NAPA, some RTV, new oil/filter, and about 5-8 hours

 

[SHOspazz92]

Well my dad thinks that no one would do it without rebuilding the motor, the Loss of Power Was TREMENDOUS, so we are worried we might have damaged the block..., but freaking only 200 dollars??? , only problem is we cant do it ourselves, we dont have the time, nor tools, so it would probobaly be expesive having it done at a SHOP....the only other think i can think of that is wrong with the car (assuming that the rod bearing are fine) is a crack piston....what do you guys think?

BY a cheap engine off ebay for like $300-500 and run the piss out of it, by another when you toast it after 30k of miles and repeat process
