"Why the hell are you wasting your time on this? A Y8 block with 46kmi. is still in its prime!"
its someone elses car = not mine, and this is what he wants and he paid me the cash... so i gave it to him. I explained what he's getting into and he knows. if a customer wanted a computer built to their standards and their willing to pay a higher retail price than all the other PC's within your line that you build, wouldnt you provide it? giving the fact the customer knows what they want and what they're getting into? customer satisifaction. a lot of people out there love excellent customer service.

update on the swap.... turns out on the coolant leakage from the water pump area right after the AC button is pressed is due to an overly tight timing belt. when he pressed the AC button to activate the AC it places more pressure on the timing system... what do you all think about that? true... false? I mean, the belt is already spinning with the timing belt before the ac button is hit; why would hitting the ac button add more pressure?

that crack sensor.... turns out iot doesnt go into the oil pump area and it only goes behind the lower timing belt cover... It has a round piece of metal aqimed at the crank gear (this is the thing that the cracnk pulley attaches to). I havent had a chance to work on this guys car because he's been busy and i Got into other projects. i'll post the updates as they complete.
