Might have my car back running here soon. Goddamn head gasket blew on me in june after I had the car back running for like 2 days. She sat up from like february until late may and redid my fuel shit and cleaned, gutted, and lined my gas tank and she ran fine for about 46 hours. Got me an engine hoist yesterday so I'll be pulling the head out with the intake and exhaust manifolds to save myself about 4 hours of work. Then I've got to get the rest of the shit off of the front of the engine so I can snatch the front cover off and re-time the bastard.
tl;dr/lamen's terms: don't buy a fucking datsun/nissan z car if it's not in 100% running condition
