Just spit-balling here, but do you know if it had the valve spring recall done?

motor is toast. guessing the guy had the recall done then unloaded it on you. 7k ish to fix.
I feel really bad for you. Your 86 experience should have been a good one. I've been there on this Last edited by TommyW; 09-05-2021 at 07:05 PM. |

Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but your coolant reservoir looks like it's really over-filled and isn't using the normal blue coolant.

Yup. Goner. Hopefully, you can make a decent score on a salvaged long block. Really sorry about that.

What puzzles me is that you said the car was running fine then you did some routine maintenance, now it hardly runs. You may try putting the old MAF back in the car to see if it makes a difference - That engine sounds like an old flathead V-8 that has a distributor half full of water - OK, so you don't have a distributor. - You mentioned that you have had to charge the battery several times. What kind of voltage to you get at the battery without the car running? The battery sounded weak. What trouble codes are being thrown at you? If you don't know, I suggest you invest in a code reader. Since the engine hasn't "blown up", I reckon there is a massive fuel delivery or massive spark malfunction. Let us know what you find out. |

The routine maintenance happened as a result of the failure. The guy that sold me the thing assured me up down left and right (but not in writing) that the car had been meticulously cared for. Only invested in the new MAF after getting P0102. And as far as the battery goes after the failure it was seen to be bleeding. Not sure if this was a cause or result of the failure. Thank you for your comments, will keep you updated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

**update** I’ve resigned myself to getting a salvaged short block after a second mechanic has told me that the problem is a thrown rod. so as I scour pull-a-part and other salvage yards, I ask for your advice on getting through this step as quickly as possible. This thing is my daily driver and getting it road worthy again ASAP is my top priority.
