My 1st post! - Siezed 4M-E, Crunched Oil Pan... Related?

the#1 · 10-04-2006, 08:18 PM

Thanks for the compliments on the beautifull MKI.

So I would need to replace the engine, even if it's just the oil pan siezing the crank? I figured that if that was the case, I could just replace the oil pan, and call it good (till she blows up!)

And thanks for the warm welcome! I'm sure I'm here to stay!!!

Well, keep in mind, I haven't seen the dent so that might be the cause, lol. Either way, I wouldnt start messing with steering components. I, personally, would never mess with that. I would rather pull the engine than to start taking apart the steering stuff. It would be easier anyway.

i would sayy.. more than likely.. someone slipped off the crossmember with the jack and that is what munched the oil pan

by munching the oil pan the oil pump pickup & mesh has broken and cracked and left many shards of metal in the oil, then that nice metal filled oil has gone through the motor and shagged out the bearings and got dam hot therefore seizing the engine

well that's my theory anyway, be interested if you tear it down to see what you find

and yes awesome mk1 you have there
