So my plans have slightly changed yet again.
After realizing how much a motor buildup actually costs, I've decided on getting the car on the road all stock, beefing up the suspension, then building a new motor up over the summer. On that note, I bought two parts I needed to get her on the road; an ECU and a 2g MAF.
The head is going to be dropped off at a local engineering shop (Gellners) around the corner from me. Heard good things about them from two people, and they are quick about it too! The head, I fear, has ####ed up valve seals. Before she sat, I was burning oil from somewhere... I believe either the valve stem seals, or piston rings. So, after my head is checked, I will replace the piston rings regardless.
Oh, and since the block is out and torn apart, I might as well do the balance shaft eliminator too.
So, two parts down, multiple more to go -.- It's sad to see the state I've put her in, but I will get her driving again...
Oh yea, anybody know what this seal is for?
I have them on both sides. The seal says "Guarantee Void if removed." I'm just curious what it is covering,
