Well lets see, Im owed 11 bucks for past work, 85 for a tow, and 150 for the car. thats 246 bucks, But i found a whole craftsman 255 piece tool set, un opened, a swivel handle jack barely used, and 2 new tires, so i feel i made out pretty good. |

the timeing cover is brand new, i bought that when i rebuilt that engine. Oh and get this, when i pulled the plugs from that car, i found middle piston covered in water, and the walls coated with surface rust..... BLOWN HEADGASKET! I might be bale to remove the head, pull the pan slide out the pistons, and check how bad they are, if itll clean right up, hone it, ring it and slap it together with a goood headgasket.

what do you want for the stereo assuming it works. I get them brand new for $30 (they were $35 in walmart but walmart discontinued them) its my favorite stereo :-) I have 3 of them. I am stock piling them because I never want to use a different stereo :-) |

I pulled the spark plugs yesterday and found cylinder 3, or number 2 from front to back. Whichever you prefer to call it, the spark plug was steam cleaned with surface rust.... Blown headgasket. Ofcourse now that its sat for 1-2 months with coolant in that cylinder, its screwed lol |
