If you loosen the oil fill cap on these cars they run very rough or die. I think that is the only reason why your car was running poorly. I do not think there is anything wrong with your car. It is true that a crankcase with no airspace at all is bad, but I think your crankcase probably still had plenty of airspace in it and no engine damage has occurred. How is it running now? __________________ ... ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ |
