Default Update on the engine problem.

So it's going to cost me about 300 bucks to get the car fixed. That's the head gasket water pump new head bolts timing belt and all the other good stuff to go with it. Once the garage calls me back and lets me know when he can get it in I should have it back soon I hope. Then I can get started on the trans swap.

Not a bad price from a shop. I think my HG kit from Modern was $99 plus about another $30 or so each for the water pump, idler pulley and timing belt.

yeah I got it done pretty cheap no need to replace the timing belt with 18k on it as long as I didn't warp the head ill have it back in a few days then I can start on the tranny swap. That's gunna be fun lol since ill be doing it in the middle of the road I'm not good enough to have a garage lol I hate where I live it should only take me 3 days tho I will have some wicked burnout vid up when I'm all done I need new tires anyway lol.
