Around Christmas, my beloved blasty was having a few probs... electircal, and a couple of air leaks... sent it to the mechanic...well, 6 weeks and about a grand later, finally got to ride again.... after 10 minutes, the engine seized. Seized! I was like "this CAN'T be happening."

Now I need to get the cylinder re-sleeved, and of course a new piston kit.
Please give me some sympathy here, folks, because I sure could use it.

 

DOH! Hope you get it back and running soon [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

My friend is having the same sort of problems w/ his '97 blaster. Good luck, you'll hit a good break soon.

 

I'd take it back to the mechanic who did the work, for 1000 bucks he should of done a better job then that.

 

i just got a mint 1996 running blaster today for 250$, sorry to hear that man, bring it back, I stand behind my work and so should HE!

That really sucks! but its The Mechanics Fault! Bring that Shyt back right away!!! TB for life [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I would definitely try to find a better shop. I tell you, it's sad how some shops pump out crap work and it turns into a battle to have them stand by their work. I have been burned before too. Good luck getting the blaster back on all fours. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to treat yourself to an engine upgrade, more ponies=more fun.

 

I would definatly think it would be the mechanics fault if he opened the engine or if he messed with the oil lines. If he doesn't know if seized then talk to him causaly about it and see if he tell you what he did.

 

That sucks and what air leaks do u mean?? like from the exhaust

 

yeah really i mean come on
