the blown motor ghost

so about 3-4 months ago my motor d16z6 that i had just swaped in went to **** or so i thought. It was making crazy noises like the motor that blew before it. So i parked the car, sold everything off it rims,tv,lip kit, seats to buy a winter beater to get me to work..........finally yesturday i got enough to buy an other motor did the whole thing, every plug then go to check the tranny fluid and notice its sticking out so we pull it out with a struggle the thing is bent to ****ing **** and all grinded up.....some how it wiggled out and got into the gears which was the main problem after all....so a 10 dollar dipstick turns into a new motor....not cool but cool cause i have a new motor i guess..........anyways thought i would share that with you and if your looking for a d16z6 i have an extra one now in good condition haha

Do the second up on a stand and go crazy on it. Then drop it in and sell the one that your running now.
