The time you recognize one of your pictures on the internet!



Here's more from the Regal 5 album









I did find the piston BTW


Bought that car with it's valve covers in the trunk


Backed it out, blew a three out of the four brake lines with one press of the pedal. After doing that..it was ready for a test drive

Honestly think a straw on the end of the can would work wonders for coating it up the crack because it doesn't matter if it drips.

Smurf Boy.. reading is required. We know pics are cool to look at but!!!!!! LOL

I saw the car for sale either on CL or a forum. $500 for a GS with a noise in the motor that they couldn't identify, said it had decent power up and down the driveway. I arrived in May, the car had been parked since Nov as it sat. I lift the hood and there's no valve covers. WTF? "We were trying to figure it out", was the answer given. Battery was nearly dead, it cranked and with some throttle I started it and refused to let it die. Hearing many car issues first hand over the years, I was also at a loss. Figured the motor was junk and drove this pig onto the trailer, handed over $500 cash and off I went.

Got it home and did a compression test on number 5 :th_thumbsup-wink:, number 3 was a big fat 0. I stopped there. Yanked the motor out. At this point, in the corner of my garage is a motor that I got at the JY months earlier. I was walking through the JY with Oldsman105 and Buickman104, there's a car that rolled. Yet the motor looks uber clean. The engine mount was ripped from the subframe, the trans bellhousing is broken and the ac bracket broke a bolt in the block. Well I cut the harness at the radiator going to the motor, undo the diff to engine bracket and the guy running the loader giggles it enough to yank the motor out. Oil pan took a hit so hard it touched a rod cap. The motor was $125 the odo had 60K on the car. I took the chance. Swapped pans, backed out that broken bolt and dropped the motor into this new to me Regal. That motor was unbelievable. Sold the car a year or so later for a good price. TMK that car is still on the road.

Sooo incase you are semi local to me and kill and engine/trans and want to dump the car. Come see me. I typically pay more than a JY. Put in some work and parts to come out with a profit.
