Piece of SHIT :furious: :furious: Looks like the manifold nut fell down there at some time before we got it??? Not really sure why that locked it up?? The cylinder walls look fine.. Here's some pics. Gonna try to get it back together tomorrow for the trip :shock: :shock:

Doesn't look too bad. At least the piston is in one piece. Clean up that head, stick a new plug in it, and you're good to go!

I pulled the motor, changed a clutch disc and got my car running, the DAY before my wedding. My wife still thinks I'm nuts!!! I had cuts all over my hands for the wedding pictures... lol

That totally blows, I've been avoiding my car cause it locked up on me a few months ago. You guys can do it, Git R Done!
