After nearly 6 months of waiting I finally have it on the road again. Im so fucking happy. I haven't stopped driving since i picked it up. Gotta put about 500 miles on it before i can really get into it and see what she gots. It all turned out being a spun bearing which fucked up the crank and a bunch of everything. When they were putting it back together they found a bent valve that had to be replaced. Then there was too much carbon build up so it wasn't holding compression so they sent the heads to be cleaned and shit. So i practically have a brand new engine sitting in my car. Took forever due to problems at every turn but its mine again so i don't care. lol. pics to come soon.

did the seafoam have anything to do with it? I remember it happened at the same time.

Yeh im really hoping there will be no more problems. It has a practically brand new engine so if something goes wrong with it someone will surely die.

P.s. love the quote. :rollinglaugh: love that movie

I don't think seafoam caused it. It ended up being a spun bearing. I think tho the seafoam might have loosened up any carbon buildup which made it more apparent. All i know is i won't be using it just the same. Im taking no chances.
