I see it as finally a reason to change engines. i been running aroudn with a smoke puffer between gears for 5 months, and neveryone said just wait till you have to, so its been buggingme so its all apart, all i ahev left is the p/s pump, a/c compressor, clutch stuff anf then the bell housign bolts and motors mounts, then i pull her out, and i only worked on her for 2 hours today, got the turbo and intkaes off, so im happy. now i just have a bunch of questiosn that need to be answered.Ill put them in another post
