Last week we went for a short spin on the express way and it was something of an experience with one to several lifters pounding away and the billowing cloud behind me, streaming from the road draft tube. My enthusiasm is waning as I am loath to dig into the motor, the torsion level and the stuck speedo. The bright side is that the car looks good and rides pretty well.
Maybe I will try soaking down the bores? It is possible there are just some stuck rings. Yeh, that's the ticket....
Time is on my side so there is no hurry to tear things down & I can contemplate whether to throw more money after bad or just dig in.
