Yeah no kidding! I could probably floor it off every light and still get better MPG than when I'm trying in my truck lol!

Yeah! I HATE timing belts with a passion after seeing (and repairing) many times what happens when they are not maintained properly.......chains for the win!

Well I got here (finally) and striped off the top of the engine, very cooperative and gave me nearly zero problems! Parts are not quite here yet so I'm just gonna relax until they do.

All repairs complete! Car is back to fully operational status (well if you ignore the suspension.........shocks are blown to $#!% and the lower control arms have compressed bushings, oh and the axles have their boots shredded) and is ready to be retrieved via my truck and a trailer in a month!
