My motor has some major issues which I have yet to pinpoint. Could be big, could be small - dunno yet until I get a leakdown on her this weekend. I don't want to post speculative information and have all the armchair mechanics start coming out of the wordwork telling me what wrong and what I should do because that really gets on my nerves. Let's just say that yesterday was a very very bad day for me.

I am THIS much closer to throwing this thing away and getting a vette it isn't even funny.

Sorry to hear but unfortunately its part of the process. Most people have to go through alot of sleepless nights and headaches just to have a fast car. I'm sure you will get it worked out and then it will all be worth the time, money and effort
