Motor out, motor in. Looks the same but now there is a new overdrive transmission sitting behind the motor with many upgrades. I have put details in the picture captions to show you all the good work. Unfortunately, auto mechanics is like golf (which I never play), if you don't practice, you suck at it. 20 years of being away is showing up. After finding the big booger in the oil pan yesterday, I chalked it up to issues that would blame it on other people. The reality is that it took a neighbor who has been practicing his common sense to ask "is it water?". For the last 24 hours I have been mentally kicking myself in the a$$ for not spending the effort to realize what I was looking at. Lots of work and sweat went in to the project after the point of which I should have said "Stop".
So now here we are with a engine that could potentially turn to crap a week after I get it going. As in the move the "Incredibles",
not happy Bob, NOT HAPPY. So what to do now?
