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...

Tins are not designed to come off with the motor IN THE CAR. So, you drop the motor. Its really quite simple. Do you have a floor dolly? If you do, and two floor jacks, I will come over after work one of these nights. We can drop in in less than a hour...simple. rIch |
