Looks like this is turning into a car show

I looked online it says 5x114.3. So there is a lot of vehicles that have wheels like this but what have you used in the past or are using now that is aesthetically pleasing? And what vehicle were they from?

That looks pretty good! Glad it sat inside away from some of the elements. The only thing i can complain about is the single master cylinder, but anyways its actually pretty easy to install a dual m/c for your own safety.

You could force feed it with a belt driven supercharger to make up with that loss providing that the pistons and rods are upgraded

Thats a good looking car! Put a racing motor in it and scare all the little kids that drive moms honda

If there is any voltage drop greater than .2V, on most electronic circuits that are being tested it usually indicates a defective cable or connection.

Well thats a relief. So it looks like this motor may be rebuildable after all. Just gotta check that crack that is at the top of the deck between #5 and 7, pray to god that the crack doesnt go into the block.

Well if it is a head, its either a crack or a valve guide bored too far over, with the wrong valve size inserted. If its a block you are screwed. I dont wanna get too far ahead of myself here, since it just may end up being something simple like a valve cover gasket.

Just to clarify, it is inside the block, not anywhere where the timing chain is. Sorry if my wording is misleading. I wish I could circle the area where the issue is

If youre experiencing slow cranking when hot it could be a starter issue. Connect a amperage tester to the battery and see how much amps get drawn when the engine is hot vs when it is cold, if it draws more amps than specified, it could point to a faulty starter, or a mechanical engine issue...

Id start by putting this car on drive on ramps and blocking the rear wheels. Crawl under it and look at everything. Start by checking the gaskets by cleaning off the motor, then starting it up and see where the oil is originating from. On the other hand, id pull all the spark plugs out and do a...

all that grey stuff im pretty sure is head sealer. The part you are looking at is the front of the block above the camshaft bore bearing. It looks like there is a chunk missing

yeah im trying to figure out whats wrong with this. Itll be up eventually though

Is it me or is a chunk of this motor missing?

I wouldve clear coated it. It gives the car more character that way but totally up to you.

Glad to see you solved it!

What the heck!! No one these days would allow that to be any kind of "quality" repair. Are those hose clamps on it?

Assumkng there is anything wrong with the coil, check the coil using a ohmmeter. Compare to specs. Try testing it after the car has run to see if it has gone far out of spec.
