    Blew my motor -_-

    So I was driving in third gear was going to fourth it didn't want to go in and the car shut off on me started to notice smoke coming out the hood popped it open and smoke was coming from the intake. Well the reason this happen was because the previous owners had put the wrong spark plugs and they went in to deep cracked the casting and the plug was getting hit by the piston, my best bet was they bought new ones and put them in just enough so it could run and sold it to me and then I changed them and put them in to deep and yep once again the piston was hitting the plug until the valves crashed with the pistons. I could see the valve. Long story but the motor is completly fucked and I'm getting a replacement and rebuilding this one later for boost

    Ouch...that bad news. If it's a problem with how the spark plugs are seated, can't you just replace the valve cover? Might be cheaper just to swap the head if it's piston also.

    You have apparently never heard of a V8 Ford Focus that keeps up with a lamborgini in every way for half the price of a lambo. You lose the prestige and class of owning a lamborgini though.

    Most people on this forum(99%) are complete noobs and don't know the first thing about what it means to build a custom project. Fucking cheap ass corolla owners. Why can't you people get it through your thick heads that a project is something that is personal to you. It is you making your car into something custom and tailored to your own likes. Just a little opiniated rant on my part.

    That's exactly the problem, "if you could" you can't, so you use a psychological coping method of a negative appraisal, putting it down to make yourself come to terms with it.

    If you have all the money in the world to throw at whatever you want, that's great. I'd love to put the TTC performance 2UZ in my truck. But I don't have the $25k to throw into it. No need to be so hostile.

    Oh wow I missed this thread until now, that's a bummer man, sorry to hear that about yout car that you just got. Hopefully you can at least do something to get the car running soon, until you can have money to do the exact engine swap or whatever your final goal is.
