All,
So here is the new happenings on my engine
issues. As you know from the last email I decided to remove and disassemble the
engine. When I got it tore apart, I took it down to a friend at the local hot
rod shop and had him check it out. The Crank had major damage and the cam was
pretty wore out as well. It looked like the engine had been rebuilt recently (as
I was told from the guy I bought it from), but I guess they did a crappy
job. So after talking with the guy's at the shop I decided that I should
get a rebuilt engine from a local rebuilder and have the guy's at the shop
put a mild cam in it and tune it up after the fact. So I will probably get the
Long block on Wednesday and start putting it back in the car. This actually
worked out pretty well as I used this as an opportunity to fix some things on
the car. I installed all new energy suspension body mounts, Straightened out the
frame and body alignment, Had a friend who is a locksmith replace all the locks
on the car, took out and repainted the dash console, a few other misc. things
and... put a dent on the left corner of my hood... Well the
last one was an accident ;)
thanks
Larry
