The old girl wheezes back to life.



She's a little sick but she runs.

I broke that vacuum T for the injectors so I had to order a new one... $40 later it's on the way.

I removed the spark plugs (which were disgusting) and performed a compression test.

#1 - 168
#2 - 179
#3 - 172
#4 - 182

Seems healthy? I looked a little bit online and couldn't tell exactly what it's supposed to be, but I'm sure it's fine for a 20 year old car. At the very least I know the head gasket is fine which is good news considering the cooling system problems and likely the engine has been overheated.

I changed the valve cover gasket, when running the car left a small puddle of oil on the ground... geeze I hope that was the valve cover. I'll have to chase that down later.



All done!


Since the car runs and has proven itself I ordered a bunch of Mtech stuff. Standby for some hopefully more interesting posts.
