    Ehrr.....I meant, "everyone can do whatever they want to their car", lol. In light of this, i apologize to rincon for calling his neon lights rice.

    1% of 4533 = 45.33. Yeah I looked at it, before posting up that percentage.

    I never said it was new. It first showed up on Motor Trend in 2004/2005.

    My post was directed mostly at "MovieStar", because that dude is really wierd and kind of gets on my nerves, except the 99% comment, which is well.....you know.

    My point in summary is, you shouldn't discourage Sk149 from doing the swap right now, instead of essentially, throwing money at another 1zz you will eventually scrap, again.

    We're not telling him that he shouldn't do the 20v swap, he himself said that his plans changed because he needs the car running by next month. So for the time being, it's easier to do a direct swap with the same engine, and save the silvertop swap for later.

    did it make a ticking noise at all before it blew? bc mine did the same but idk if it was the plugs. after i bought mine i checked the plugs and all 4 were fried. and cylinder 1 plug was soaked in oil. i replaced them with ngk like the manual recommends. but a month later it did the same as yours and blew. im just wondering if thats what happened to mine. i didnt open the head to find out. but i did find an engine for 600 with 89k miles and got it swapped 4 hours later for 500.
