It's running. But my step dad just called me and what I think he was describing is it hesitating when accelerating or something of that manner.
Just took it out for a spin.
at 2500 rpm's the engine makes a horrible racket. Kind of like a knocking sound but at high revs. Then if you gas it, the engine hesitates.
Plus my step dad said it was low on oil. He had to add 2-3 quarts to get it back to normal. I'm not exactly happy at the moment.

2-3 qts!?!?! Not good, he may have ran the oil pump dry on stops or turns if it was that low, only takes a few seconds of no oil pressure while the engine is running to damage a bearing(s) which will cause a knock, also if something got tight up top (cams) w/ low oil pressure while running it could have slipped the timing belt so check to see if the marks still line up 1st!!

I swear, this is a never ending headache. I honestly hate the aveo.
If the place that rebuild the head screwed up the job I am going to be very pissed. I put the head on as per the FSM, triple checked everything, torqued it down as per the FSM. I did it all by the book.

i just went and read all the posts (both threads) from the beginning. It sounds like currently our problem is going to be bearings. But when you did the head, did you put all the oil back in it? I am asking because aside from the typical 1/2 quart coating on the valve train that you will loose, that is a lot of oil to lose, you should be able to track it.
I did the oil and filter after the head went on. I put in the Oil until it was at the full mark. I think 4.25 quarts
Well, I'm a bit mad now. He said the noise is getting louder... Awesome.. It's going to the mechanic tomorrow
what was end result out of time one tooth?
