Rich,
I tried to add a pic in a p.m I sent you but could not do it. Can anyone tell me if looking at this pic there is an indication if the valves are burned or bad?The car has low compression and is near impossible to tune.The pic is of cylinders 1 and 2. Thanks.  |

Judging by your pictures, you have already put more work into this than it would take to remove the engine...

I dont know how long it takes to drop the engine but I got this far in a little over an hour. It took longer to get the damn tins off than anything. What a crappy design. |

What a crappy design. I don't think the engine was designed to be dismantled while in the car. Dropping the engine is fairly simple, I like the furniture dolly method. You'll want to have it out to do a general cleanup. It's amazing how much crap can collect in the cylinder fins. Go for it. |
