Consumer Description

1999 DODGE INTREPID W/A 2.7L ENGINE. ENGINE FAILURE AT APPROX. 78,000 MILES. SPUN 2 ROD BEARINGS. I HEARD THE RATTLE FROM THE BOTTOM END AS I PULLED INTO WORK ONE MORNING. PULLED THE OIL PAN BEFORE IT COULD GET WORSE. I HAVE USED MOBIL1 SYNTHETIC 10W30, CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES. CAR IS DRIVEN ALOT OF THE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVING BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 18 YRS I REBUILT THE ENGINE MYSELF. I REPLACED THE MAIN AND ROD BEARINGS, RINGS, OIL PUMP, WATER PUMP, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND GASKET SET. ALSO THE CRANK WAS GROUND AND THE RODS RESIZED, ALONG WITH HAVING ALL THE ENGINE PARTS CLEANED. I TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES AND KEPT THE OFFENDING COMPONENTS. I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 3 WEEKS AND HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL.
