Here's a pic of what I found in the passenger head :( Everything else seems to be good...no broken rockers, valves are straight and so are the push rods. So I might have "lucked out" and only suffered a broken spring.

I'm going to test the compression in all the cyl. If they are good, then I'm just going to change the spring.

No yet. The car is back in my driveway now. The trans brake switch is installed and the new D/S is in. I have to wait to get new springs so the BBOD is pretty much done for this year :( I haven't decided if Evette is going back or not.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:15 PM.
