unless it's a simple gotcha like the oil filter not screwed on properly
or the breather hose absent, i'm not sure it's economic to spend much
time diagnosing what's wrong with this motor - based on symptoms, it
could be something serious like a thrown rod. look into the economics
of simply replacing the motor. a jdm import is $300 - $400 for the
lump, plus labor of fitting. a good deal cheaper than the economics of
any but the most basic repairs.
