What killed my 2.4The following line is extracted from a message I sent out to the British-Car mailing list when first looking at my car: " The one thing I'm likely not to have troubles with is the motor..." Here's what turned out to be wrong with my 2.4L motor: And, courtesy of the previous owner: Now, after you've stopped laughing, consider this: the motor ran. I drove it home. It actually ran OK, and, when it wasn't fighting with a nut in the valve, it actually ran pretty good- providing decent acceleration and performance. If that's not a bulletproof motor, I don't know what is. Off the factory floor, I think the 2.4 Motor with Solex carbs made around 110hp. I figure in the condition mine was in, I was probably lucky if I was seeing 70hp. Needless to say, the freshly built 4.2 motor with dual HD-8's I've installed is providing a slight performance increase. |
