Default Done!

Well thought i would update this , as of yesterday the car is done and on the road
i didn't bend all the valves just 28 of them , i ordered a replacement engine that was to be low miled and it wasn't , sent it back got another one that was worse , had to file a BBB complaint to get my money back ( i did) then said screw it and rebuilt the heads , the pistons and cylinders looked new still no carbon no nothing
replaced all the gaskets and seals and put the rebuilt heads on and all the (new factory water pump this time) timing parts, water pump belt rollers adjuster thermostat etc . primed the engine and shazammm !! man i've missed that car . took tons of pictures and notes .

Either you can insert the pics in the post via "Manage Attachments" - only 5 at a time, or you can upload them on a website like Photobucket, Picasa, etc and then insert links to their address in the post, via:
[img]---- starting
after the bracket insert the pics' address, ex:
http://www.myimagesucks/jester007.jpg
after which you "close" the reference by adding a slash in front of the "img":
[/img]
No spaces should be in between the straight bracket(s) and the address, although in this example for you I inserted one space at the front and one at the back of the address:
[img] http://www.myimagesucks/jester007.jpg [/img]
-
p.s This is a made-up address, so of course it doesn't take you anywhere.
