So my husband has been on the hunt for an old geometro to buy and work on, his birthday is coming up and buying a car of any kind is not in the budget for us right now. Does anyone have any geometro gift ideas?? It can be anything, geo metro t-shirt etc, I just didn’t want to buy something that wasn’t actually geo metro related because I am clueless when it comes to car stuff lol. I will really appreciate any help!!
Pretty sure I have rod knock. I’m basically a beginner in car mechanics. So small backstory I bought this car non running and wanted to learn more about cars. Got it running (found it was missing a woodruff key). It had extreme low compression readings especially in cyl 3. I pulled the head and found a burnt valve in cyl 3 and replaced others as they had pits that wouldn’t smooth out after lapping. After the engine went back together, a knock sound decided to stay. Before it would knock sometimes and sometimes go away. This time I thought it was timing so I double checked and crank and cam gear lines match up basically perfect and when at top dead center the distributor rotor points up right to cyl 1 on the cap. I should be able to fix knock from dropping the oil pan right? Oh yeah also it has great power loss, like it wants to stall in drive (it’s an automatic) so I also been confused by that. This is the end of my rant but i just wanted to share and if you have knowledge you’d like to share I’d appreciate it, thank you.
Just went and picked up these wheels which I believe come off of an ae86, they look amazing and suit the metro so well. Figured you all would appreciate it
