So Hi.
I'm new. Looking to fall in love with an Eagle Talon.
Found this car online, and lets be frank. I know very little about cars but HEY!... Gotta learn somewhere.
SO. Here is my question to you.
1993 DSM FWD. New Alternator, new Battery, new rad and hoses, new water pump and timing belt, new clutch save AND... new Harmonic Balancer. Are these signs that this car is toast?
I've done a bit of research and I've come to know that the 90-91 years had six-bolt engines while the 95+ had the seven-bolt engines. This 93 leaves me in the 92-94 range of 'who the f*** knows'.
My initial plan was to inspect the car myself and see if I can get a look at the oil pan but then I remembered "what the f*** do I know". I really want a 90-91 year, but most of those cars have been snatched up, or simply aren't in abundance on Vancouver Island, Cananda.
So gents, I put it to you.
Are there signs of crankwalk? Is there a way to tell?
And any other advice for a novice looking to nick a powerful, reliable, and cheap car?
or perhaps, questions for myself?
