Any luck Ken?
Well the ball is in my court right now - they've sent me a freight waybill and I have to drop the engine off at a trucking company in western NY.
But now - I've got the oil light in my car coming on and with 238k clicks I simply don't want to put any money into fixing it (unless it was a full build but I don't have the time or budget to do that in the short term) ...
So - I've got a rebuilder looking at the borked engine I got from Topspeed to see just what might be involved in getting it back to running condition - it still might be my most cost effective and quickest way to get a new engine into the track rat.
Honestly Adam I can't ever remember having so much grief with a car - I guess it was just my time has come. Oh well - it could always be worse - I can always look at what Leo's been through and be happy with my lot; no offense to Leo.
