Well, took the motor in for the rods, crank and pistons to get balanced. Turns out one of the pistons has gotten its fair share of something beating inside the chamber. Not good news. It's repairable though. Looks like the motors coming out to get honed to accomodate fresh rings (which proved to be rather worn for 80k), polishing the crank, honing all the wristpin sleeves and fresh bearings. Talk about freshening up the shortblock, huh?? Im totally out of money to perform any valve work, but cleaning them up should be effective enough... for now. So with that said, I'm gonna go **** myself up for financial ****. People think crack is addictive? Get a SHO and come talk to me!

Motors out! Boy, was that fuuunn...

Of course, what kinda pic thread would it be with a constipated "im holding it up with brute strength" shot, huh?!

Well.. After pulling the trans off the motor and finding a smoked clutch, my budget has just about had it. Posted up in the parts section. Everything is for sale. I'm throwing in the towel with this car. In a couple years, when I'm making more than the pathetic joke EMT companies consider reasonable pay, I'll purchase another. At the rate I am moving towards, I can't afford to feed myself if I dump anymore money in this damn car!
