Now that's a good Christmas gift! Which pawn shop? I live in TR and work in Greenville.

This made me laugh. http://greenville.craigslist.org/tls/1550161418.html :lol_hitti

Should I restore it , modify it, or just leave it alone?

$30 see title :thumbup:

I got this Kennedy 7 drawer machinist tool chest from craigslist today. It's in great shape for what I guess is a mid 1950's box. Later, David:beer:

I found more pics of the first girl if anyone cares. There are several in that photobucket. http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa256/bardonna/?action=view&current=ktd08-1.jpg&newest=1 Later, David

Thanks MMG440. The cylinder walls are perfect, I can't find a scratch on them. I can get a new piston for $65 so I will go ahead and replace that along with the rings. It's the head I am most concerned about because they are quite pricey. I wish I had more cash right now. There are several low...

Oh sorry forgot to post the piston picture.

Pics of the carnage Well I expected the worst and that's what I got. The screw was lodged in the head. Do you guys think this head can be saved? another angle The evil screw Later, David

Zarcero you could just go ahead and sell that exercise equipment on craigslist and then use the money to take her out or buy her something nice. It's a win win. You might even get an extra dose of that good VJJ you mentioned.

I have never bought torsion springs personally, but I did use this guys write up to rewind mine after a door "accident". Anyways scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you will see a big list of suppliers he has compiled. http://truetex.com/garage.htm Later, David

Great job Phartman. Looks real nice. I hope you are kidding about the hernia. I had hernia surgery when I was 21 and I can honestly say the recovery period was the most miserable experience in my life.

It's all down hill from here. I have to buy some proper bolts to hang it on the engine stand, then I will get her torn down. As luck would have it I start my new job tomorrow so I will be burning the midnight oil on this beast. Later, David p.s. I know it's June. I'll change my calendar after...

This has been the best $70 I ever spent. Later, David

Well I finally located the correct key to remove the security lugs from the car. I just have to pull the axles and drop the engine and transaxle. I should have the engine on the stand and opened up tonight. I will post pics of the carnage. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I can not...

That comment came across pretty bad. Thanks for kicking a man while he's down. I don't have "image" issues. If that's your opinion fine, but how about keeping it to yourself. I have an extra kidney too why don't I sell that while I'm at it. I came here looking for advice on how to fix the...

That's a damn fine idea bmwpower. Thanks. I have to take them off to remove the heads anyways, so it's not like it will be extra work. Thank God I have the factory service manual. Step one under cylinder head removal "remove engine from vehicle". Geeezus

I am a member of the maxima.org forum. I have seen it at least three times on that board. I wasn't working on the car at all. Had just drove home about an hour earlier, remembered a quick errand I needed to run. Jumped in the car turned the key she fired right up and then heard the sudden and...

I am in South Carolina but thanks for the offer Fatboy99 ( I feel like a **** calling you that :bounce: ) I did pull all the plugs and I can see a straight down into each cylinder. I don't see any nicks or scrapes. I have decided to just tear the damn thing down. Might as well at this...

Maybe a picture will help. This is a V6 front wheel drive. Spark plug holes are one the far left and right. Intake ports are in the middle. I know all that info is pretty obvious, just trying to be clear. I don't want to take the head off because EVERYTHING has to come off the front of the...
