well its possible that it has a 95 block in it. So your saying you dont know whats wrong with it. Does it hold compression?
its got all 8 exhaust valves bent, i thought there was only 2, but 2 are bent BAD, i took them out, the guides are junk & the head is cracked around the guides, the other 6 EX. valves are bent just a little bit, all the intake valves never touched... strange... i worry about a cracked piston with how bad the 2 valves are, and the piston has a hell of a mark in it, a hit that hard can smash rod bearings too, i plan on givin it a hoan job , new rings & rod bearings, i have to get the bottom apart & see if its good enough to bother with
parts i need, rear CV axles, drive shaft, t case (soon as i count splines) crank pulley/(hamonic balancer),power steering pump, i will probly buy that head as soon as i get the extra money to spend. the guy called me and found the motor mount & some pulleys,and a boost controller he bought for it but never used.. he didnt find the plastic fender pieces yet or the wipers & cowl vent, and he says the steering pump was on top of the engine, so its probly laying on the road somewhere between his house & mine along with a handfull of bolts
i might have found a wrecked parts car thats AWD and ran good, ill know by the end of this week if he still has it , he only wanted $200 for the whole car & its a early 92 model, thats a good find if its still there
i spent way too much money in one week rebuilding the 420a for my peon race car and buying this talon, and a bunch of crap for my 450r i never ride anymore... so im gonna have to kinda put this car on hold for a few weeks. at least that gives me time to go through it all and see what all i need, im gonna go see why the fuel pump is silent when the key is turned on here shortly, i hope its a fuse or bad relay, or something simple, the oil pump rattled like hell in that motor the first few times i spun it, and took a while to get pressure, now its quiet, and i can get up to 10PSi just turning it by hand, im thinking it might been the gears chattering with air in the system after sitting for a year, this post is gettin too long ill shut up now...
