I started working on the 97 Gst I bought my wife this weekend. I'm pulling the motor so I start to take the halfshafts out. For a 97 the axle nuts were extremly rusty. I finally get the nuts off and the spline section of the halfshaft is totally seized to the hub. I tried heat and a sledge hammer and nothing. Needless to say I destroyed the threads on the half shafts!
 I ended up pulling the whole hub off just to get the halfshafts out of the way.So I pull the motor out and I am suprized to see several bolts missing! The guy I bought it from said it ran and had a fresh bottom end on it. He must of takin me for a fool!! First off I look at the timing belt and it's two teeth off from time. Then im looking at the tensioner and the part that the tensioner piviots don't even have a bolt in it to hold it to the block!!!! I notice several bolts missing. I pull the head and I see a bent valve, and two little nicks on top of the piston where two other valves have hit!!!!l I found a head for it I'm going to get next weekend.I took pics of all this and will try to post them soon. -------------------- 1991 GSX

I deleted my photos for some reason.
It's done and running. Well it ran for about .8 of a mile. Drove it down to the gas station and ran out of gas about 400 yards away. So I decide to push it the rest of the way. Wow!!!! Huge mistake!!!! I am so out of shape it ain't funny!!!! So I fill it up and the damn fuel pump burnt up! I towed it home. What a bitch!! -------------------- 1991 GSX

I've got a window the first two weeks of April to get the galant back on the road. We should hook up after that. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car
