Long story short; took out the engine and popped piston #4 out and the piston ring land was breaking off in peaces. I bought a new piston put the engine together and popped it in place. Come back Tuesday morning my car is sitting on jack where I left it but my rims are gone along with all of the front rims off of the other cars in the shop. My brother in law, who owns the shop, had a whole bunch of spare rims in the corner of the yard and the bastards got those too along with all of the radiators and wiring harnesses. I freaking hate thieves. Now not only does my car run like crap with the engine put in but I'm down a grand on rims(had brand new tires on them). For the $%&%#$ its 15 bucks per rim for some weed money at the aluminum place and for me its a large set back. The whole estimated cost stolen is 1,500 (not including my rims). If anyone can make my day any better and help with the engine problem. I have a video of the car running. The ticking sound I was told was misfiring but I've never heard a misfire like that. I'm about ready to go crazy. I'm tired of not driving the thing and pissed at it at the same time. Any help is appreciated.







bastards used logs to pry the cars up





this is where over 5 sets of rims were laying.



It looks like they came over the fence because there is a trail leading from it. I climbed over the fence and looked around the yard, knocked on the door, but no one was home. Its a trash whole of a place and the cops wouldn't do anything without proof.



And here is the video....

As far as the tuning there is a reason while it was really tuned conservatively as I explained to you in the beginning.

Didn't get a chance to put it together yet but come monday we will see if that was the real culprit in my problem...Oh and I had no idea what kind of a pain timing was to set until I did it on my car...freakin eh
