Wow. You have to wonder if the previous owner knew something about this. Sorry to hear about that. Hope you got a good deal on the sale at least. You may want to talk with Emily at CCR Engines and see about getting a rebuilt engine that has all the "bugs" fixed in the rebuilt and have a good warranty. This would be a good time to exchange engines.

 

Welcome to the forum Dr Farco.

Glen: Thanx for the welcome! It's hard to tell if the previous owner could have

known about a weak bolt. A worn belt

maybe but who knows. Just bad luck.

The car is clean,you could eat off the engine. It ran strong and straight on the

ten mile or so test drive. I got the car for a song, realizing even then if I hadda put a motor in it I would be still ahead of the game and end up with a really nice car. I woulda made it home if not for getting lost around Philly. I have a 87 DL 4WD wagon which I'm retiring for rust reasons.

Loved that car! With the studded snows on all around it would go like a goat in the snow! I'm in the process of selling it.

Does CCR engines have a website? Just in case I need 'em? I'm a DIY'er and just may pull the heads if I have to.(if I have the pep)
