You are probably right. I fixed the plenum, so the muffler bearings are not automatically getting lubed now. And I always forget to do it.

Btw, another great thread title. I sure a lot of people come here and do a search, and punch in HELP. LOL

Thanks guys really appreciate the sarcasm! I am new to this stuff and not a mechanic. I thought that's what forums were for, for the experienced people to help the inexperienced. Apparently I was wrong, If I trusted everything mechanics said I wouldn't post on here. Now since I only can get replies from ******** I wont be asking anything else on here either. Way to go making people feel stupid for asking questions on a forum. You guys are so cool just so you know. I wish I could be as cool as you guys making fun of someone because they are asking questions to something they obviously don't know about.

The bottom end of these motors are tough you might just need new heads.
Thanks for the actual advise. I will look into this I really appreciate some giving actual advise and help. I am not the most mechanically inclined person. Obviously and I misworded something someone said to me. Thanks for not talking to me like I'm an idiot and suggesting something that actually exists.

Your more than Welcome Mechanical lingo is a bitc* to get right. If it helps print off this page and take it into the shop with you. Please don't go buying a diff motor without at least checking over some basic things first. Also get more than one mechs opinion, don't tell the 2nd mech what the first mech said to you. If you would like to check some of these things yourself pm me and I will help walk you through the tests.
