Hey guys-
My commuter car, a '80 505 SD (XD2) is getting very tired. It's been
using alot of oil (about one quart per 500 miles) and putting out a
TON of blowby for the last 10,000 miles or so. Now it's developed a
bit of a rod knock at idle. I'm still driving it, because the knock
goes away as soon as the engine speed goes up and the oil pressure
rises, and I refuse to commute in my Mi16. I know I've got to do
some work on it though, and I was wondering if I could get some
advice on my options.
- I can rebuild the engine. What's the feasability of this? Are
parts available and affordable?
- I can buy a short block and rebuild my cylinder head. Any places
that sell rebuilt motors.
- I can find a XD2S motor, turbo, and IP. Anyone have one for sale?
- Just out of curiosity, anyone ever seen a small block Chevy motor
in a 505? I think a 327 and a TH400 auto transmission would be
awesome in this car.
Looking forward to reading your replies. (And looking forward to not
throwing a rod on the way home today).
-Matt
