Ok so i got my 94 limited today towed back from where i bought it 60 kms away and what do i decide to do? Rebuild the motor lol it needed it head gasket is screwed so owned the car for less than six hours now it has no front end and head is coming off tomoro. But stay tuned guys 5inch lift and maybe 35's on the way more likely 33's :p

ok guys so if got the engine completely stripped down and the head off and my diagnosis was spot on head gasket is stuffed mild rust in cylinders 1,2 and 3 cylinder hone time and time to flush the water chambers. i got lucky though oil is still mickey mouse so no water got down there head is going in to be machined and valves re-seated this week hopefully running by next weekend. now to start removal of gas system and wiring whoever put it in is an f-ing monkey spagetti everywhere
