if u didnt know
my car has been down for quite some time now. tonight i called and checked up on the engine rebuild. yes i had a blown headgasket. three cylinders were leakin. so getting that all fixed up and put back together. it will have all new bearings, gaskets, CROWER rods, JE pistons and rings and be retuned. no sleeves do to lack of funds and me being tired of never having a car to drive. sorry to dissappoint on that note but **** happens
and yes while the engine is out im searching left and right for that part number on the driveshaft shop axles that i have and the part number that goes along with them for everyone that was asking me eons ago.
