I blew it up lol. Well not really, i said screw it and went out trying to blow it :nonono::stupid:because i have a new motor with ported and polished head to put in it. I accomplished my goal :lol: The problem with the car the whole time was a messed up cam, lifter well everything that ran the exaughst valve in # 4 cylinder. It popped the arm out from under the cam. I pulled the valve cover and there it was just laying there lol. The cam lobe is worn all to hell along with the rocker arm. The lifter is broken also around the base of it. I wish i had a digital camera to get pics up yall would get a kick out of this. All the other lobes, valves etc.... were fine. I put my p@p head on it with the roller cam and lemme tell yall its a totally different car:D I have yet to get it to not spin in first, second, and third. It finally stops skating halfway through third and thats with an 8.8 with 2.73's ( yes 2.73's its all i had laying around) and me feathering the gas.:nice:


next purchase will be tires lol lata
