"Fuel wash" will typically ruin all four cylinders, becuase the oil is contaminated. It will eventually kill every lubricated part in the motor, not saying that what your problem was for sure, but I talk from experience unfortunately. It can happen if you have a overly rich running condition for a malfunctioning injector, tune, or some other factors.

 

I think I figured it out. I ran the engine with no oil pressure for 5 min a few weeks ago. The lack of oil probably killed my rings.

 

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Another victim of installing oil relocation lines backwards huh?

Rebuilding shouldn't be to bad, I would either buy a used F20, or do a Mahle FRM piston rebuild

 

Oh were you the guy that posted a few weeks ago ...and some of us mentioned to you that you probably had your oil lines reversed on your relocation adapter? You drove it down the street with the oil light on for a bit right?

 

My first time doing an oil relocation kit. I overlooked the instructions on the line. My mistake is gonna cost me 3k, sucks.

 

I might buy a used f22. I found one with 50k miles and a warranty. The shop is charging my $2700. I can't afford to wait 1+ months for an engine rebuild.

Yea running the car with the dummy light on for 5 min will do that to an engine. My suggestion would be to buy an early 90's Taurus SHO (3.0) Yamaha engine and use it as a beater till you can get a Laskey engine put in your S. As long as you do the std. maintenance the SHO it will last a long time .

 

Thanks. I might be going for a used engine now. The wait time is just too long for Laskey, and I might get lucky enough to source a used engine for cheap.

 

That's actually a really good deal. I payed $3400 for mine, it was a full long block with accessory's as well mind you. The f22 is a better all around motor anyway, and will take 9k rpms regularly as well, though I would cap it at 8500 to help insure a full life. Ive put about 30k of bouncing ap1 rev limit fun on mine so far. I had 52k on mine when I got it used.

I might have to do that than. I just found another one cheaper also. Are you still running an ap1 tranny? I was wondering how the ap1 gearing mates up to the 2.2.
