I...uh...might be interested in some body panels.

I have parted out an entire S before.........I could be up for doing it again!

GUTI007

I could use an front bumper that isn't cracked (already been repaired multiple times...haha) and chipped to hell...

Among other things...

Great interest! Will post back once this thing goes to auction.

Got the header dropped this weekend and working on getting the TCT out. Still scratching my head on how the rocker assembly comes out after you remove the cams. Drained the oil and the first thing to come out was a few ounces of coolant, so I'm guessing when cylinder two bit the dust it blew the headgasket. I also noticed that a few of my DRIVESHAFT BOLTS had backed ALL THE WAY OUT ( ) and were just hanging out in the housing. Wonder if they had been loose for a while or if my engine failure had something to do with it. Anyway, I'll post pics once the head comes off. Stay tuned.

Actually didnt break just one...this came off the intake side of #2 after I got the assembly lifted. All of those little roller pins are somewhere in the motor :/ Hopefully all in the oil pan.

Minus the last clip, getting the intake manifold off was further along than expected, so I pulled the head tonight. Here's the carnage. Looks to me like metal shards skipped across the head gasket. Note the coolant on the bench. Still not sure what happened, but safe to say the entire head and block is done for. Going to send pics to inline pro just to be sure, but the scoring on the walls seems deep enough to warrant a straight swap. Donor car lined up whenever it goes to auction:

Might be able to sleeve the block but that head is toast.

Upon further inspection, it seems to me that the root cause of all this was retainer keeper failure on the intake side. While they're intact, one of them does look like it dropped down, allowing the valve to drop enough to snap off into the cylinder, and the rest is history.
