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

He just claimed to put the timing belt on. He did say it ran fine. That was a lie!!! He pulled pullys off the car before I could hear it run.

Did a little work on it this weekend. I was taking the bolt out of the front case and realized that the crank seal was not there!!!!! I'm no master mechanic but I'm kinda thinking that is important!!! What a Jack ass!!!! How would you leave that out? He told me it ran. I bet oil was leaking if it did run!!!
