Hey everyone,

so its not a TOTAL loss because I have a near completed 3S-GTE sitting in the garage. but was wondering if it would be semi-'easy' to repair this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTWFLFDgtow

so I can get the engine finished...

any help or suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin

the Engine will be rebuilt, was planing to do that after I got the 3S-GTE engine in. it was going to be my "learn how to really work on an engine" I'm a bit upset this is how it had to end. but just means more to learn I guess.

as for the loss of power, I've been getting hic-ups in power here and there, and my father, who shares the car, was thinking it was the spark plus and some to do with the clutch slipping.

I was hoping it would hold out till October, but it didn't make it...

Ill start pulling the engine this weekend and get the bay cleaned up for the replacement.

Thanks for the hard truth though!

Kevin
