Wow, she was really spewing oil.The Festiva Store
Specializing in restoration, tuning and custom parts.

I drove this car for 2 weeks 100 miles a day with a messed up cylinder and blowby the #1 cyl and leaking oil, to wich I pulled the engine and found an other festiva engine in a junkyard in Winston-Salem N.C. rebuilt it and jut now its been giving me trouble. the original transmission I resealed it and put it back in the car, to the most resent trouble I had out of it has been that the crankshaft is walking in and out ( I think) making a grinding sound intermittently hen I press the clutch, to wich I thought it was the transmission and I pulled it out opened it up took it apart and found the diff spider gears had too much endplay so I bought a transmission from a buddy of mine for $20 buck and took the diff out and replaced it.
it didn't matter cause the car was till doing the same thing, till last night I removed the oilpan and it had bearing material in it, so im waitng to find the specs so I can do some accurate measuring.

Is this going to be your build thread?
If not then this makes the 3rd thread you've posted in the wrong section in the passed couple days and they may just start disappearing instead of being moved
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

Look ill be as nice as possible, im here to learn about these cars. I haven't logged in as much as I want to learn all the ins and outs of the site, and yes I have posted threads in wrong places, but give me a break im a noob here, and I apriciate the tact to wich my mistakes have been dealt with and to that I say thank you, and yes this is my build thread if you wanna move it or make it disappear that's up to you, or even if you wanna restrict my acces that's up in the air, like I said im a noob and want to learn as much as possible about these cars and it is my build thread.

bad engine #1 cyl gougded
I am giving you a break.... I gave you a heads up before deleting your threads didn't i?.... I don't like deleting members threads but sometimes that's about the only way some members get the message....
But since it's your build thread, I apologize if I came across rude
Just a thought for you though, a different thread title would help show its a build thread... It gives the impression of a repair help kinda thread right now is all which is the reason for my last post.....Last edited by Damkid; 10-29-2014, 03:29 PM.
