Worse thing is you drop a GT-R motor and trans in there and have the last laugh

 

haha, how much would that cost? i bet insurance aint gonna pay for that lol

 

Sounds like is hydrolocked.

Engine is done, time for a new one.

myke

 

how much $ is my insurance gonna shell out for a new engine? and how long do you think thell have my car?

still waiting on the damn dealer to give me word

 

it is a Monday so they are probably swamped with a lot of work. they might just actually be waiting for the insurance adjuster to come down. so it' might not be the dealer looking at the car first.

that is what we do b/c if the insurance company is paying for the bill (thats why we pay our premiums for) then they will have to look at it with the adjuster like an auto accident. then the dealership will work on it if it's salvagable.

 

ahh, so maybe i wont even find out today, ill give them a call in a couple hours and see what they say, the lady told me they would look at it today for me, so who knows

 

wow. well this already happened to my g when there was a flood in new orleans. they didnt replace my engine though

 

heat, are you pmsing?

 

what were the car symptoms? what happened

 

well bad news,
they said the engine will need to be replaced as they cant turn it on, they removed the plugs etc with no luck

they said they wont be able to check the electric system until they get a new engine in there, but they think its ok b/c it looked fine on jumpers.

i called my insurance company they said thell be out there tomorrow to assess it and that its covered either way

oh well, **** happens

 

Sucks man.

 

Well atleast you get a new engine so it isnt all bad. Unless somehow your insurance goes up

 

well i didnt get that new engine yet, the service guy was like "well hopefully they have the engine parts in stock" ....think he was trying to make me even more mad

 

Nope. I just dislike stupid people. I could kinda understand if this was a Bimmer driver. But I thought Infiniti's were for smart people.

 

Find out if your insurance company gives you a new engine or a used engine. There are a few insurance companies out there that use used engines. Have a friend with a 2008 BMW M5 that hydrolocked. Insurance company put a used engine (with less mileage but still).
