Most of my free time lately has been devoted to getting my engine back together so that I can make it to our meeting at Ken's this Sunday. A bolt holding the intake manifold on had broke, so today I drilled that out and messed up the threads in the process. I got a 7mm x1 thread repair kit to fix it. The casting voids on top of this engine were totally filled up with what looked like cat litter. It was so thorough, in fact, that it looked like it was done on purpose. I can't see how normal driving would get that much in there. I bought this as a clean 8600 mile car. I'm planning on filling these voids with hi-temp RTV. I found some carbon traces in the distributor -- enough to cause the power lag I was experiencing. I'm sure that this was caused by having the plugs over-gapped. There was a lot of voltage and nowhere to go. Walt Yahoo!
