Hi everyone,
New member with a 2003 SSEi. Bought the car from a friend with a rod knock. He had the intake manifolds replaced, but by then the damage had already been done to the bottom end. Total trip would be about 200 miles home and about the 1/2 way mark the motor froze up. Ended up breaking the #2 con rod cap. I bought a donor motor and used the bottom end from that and used the original top end. I took the old engine apart back in September and tonight just got the engine back in.
I have a question regarding a motor piece, but will post that in topic area.
