Hello All, I have been a member for about a month and lurking around till I got my Geo Metro. Well today I finally got it. I have wanted one for a few years because my only car was a chevy k2500 3/4 ton 4x4. Lets just say trips to the gas station are not fun but I love my truck. Well my friend GAVE yes gave me a 1997 white geo metro LSI. Its a hatchback. She had bought it a few years back for her sons first car. Well she has three teenage sons. Whenever one of there cars was broken or in the shop the geo was the car everbody used. Long story short , something happened to the engine while one of the kids was driving it. Loud knocking. so she asked me if I wanted it I said heck yes. So I haulled it home today. It's a pretty clean little car considering 3 teenage boys. She bought it from an elderly man and it had 80 thousand miles. I'm really happy. I love this car. I sure hope I can get it up and running. Anyway, thats all for now. I wanted to say HI and introduce myself. I look foward to meeting all of you. Edited by LenHolsworth, Jul 11 2012, 06:54 PM.

If you were able to drive it or the motor ran when you picked it up, it is salveagable. Rod knock is indicative of a spun bearing. Tear it down, mic it out, maybe have the crank turned and run oversize bearings. While you're in there, re-ring, and let 'er rip. Probably a good time to have the head worked over too- DIY threads are on here- or do what I did and take it to a reputable shop. Welcome- and have fun!

Welcome to your new forum, LenHolsworth! That is a great deal and friend. At one point I was going to rebuild our '96 because of some loud tapping. Turned out to be a $1.57 EGR gasket (exhaust leak).

Thank you all for the warm welcomes, I will post some pics soon and keep an update of what I find out, I dont know how to reply to indavidual posts. You have no idea how happy i would be if it was an egr gasket for a few bucks. I don't know any geo mechanics in my neck of the woods. I have a friend thats going to look at it and advise me. |
