Ha alright guys. Geez. I'm going to back away from this one and throw some more money at the car. I greatly appreciate you guys chiming in on this. Just the motion of considering this has taught me a bunch. I'll try to pick up an engine from Yossi when I'm ready.

Great group here.

An overheated engine often times has the Pistons chewing against the cylinders on the thrust side. The bottom would need to be completely rebuilt as well as the head decked and going through completely.
