Scotty,
Where do you live exactly in TN now? I might bring my qx4 over. Bought it with 119000 miles. Has now 175000 miles. Had a loose screw on cylinder #1 (thanks to a bad mechanic beforehand). Found a great mechanic who fished it out to 99% with a magnet. Took him 1 week to do it.cylinder is banged but that cars still drives. Will it continue to drive well or will cylinder 1 give me problems in the future? I drove with that scree in there for at least 4 years. I had to replace over the years head gasket of cours, oil pan and other things. I am just soo mad that my old mechanic put non OEM parts in and told me and charged me OEM prices. Now finally after 2 years to exchange another non oem alternator with a oem alternator, I still have the key ignition switch and the starter as non oem parts. I am gambling with another 2 years on that starter. Geez. crooks everywhere.
My brother in law lives in Hendersonville. He has a DeLorean btw.
Well it probably did some damage only time will tell you can never tell how much damage was done but it screw bouncing around inside but it still runs so that's a decent sign
