LOL I'm in pretty much the exact same situation. Drive 90 miles a day to work and just want something that will get me there and back. I tried posting on here but since you can't even post in the for sale/wanted section without 30 posts it makes it kinda hard. I didn't have any luck so i'm just rebu...

Thanks for all the replies. The valve that needs replacing doesn't really look like the one in the picture. Its alot cleaner but about a 1/4 of it is broken off. The car never smoked or burnt any oil just was only running on 3 cylinders because (well obviously) no compression in the one. You could a...

Valve Job

I have a 93 4cyl 16v and I was wondering if anyone has had a valve job and if so about how much the machine shop charged you. I just pulled teh head and one of the exhaust valves is chipped and needs to be replaced. Should I go ahead and have them all replaced or just the one? Car has 120k miles on ...

You can test your clutch to see if its slipping. Just get on the highway in a high gear at a low speed and floor it. If the engine begins to rev really high but you aren't going any faster the clutch is slipping. Still work on your launch though a slipping clutch won't make the tires smoke...

If you don't mind my asking where did you get your new engine and how much was it. I need a replacement for my mx3 right now and am having a hard time finding a new or even used one for less than what a crate v8 would cost.

I pulled mine by tieing two ropes behind the joint closest to the transaxle and running one around the right side and one around the left side of the joint, tieing them to a bar and jerking. Oh so rigged but it did work. This of course was after spending a couple of hours cutting the axle bolts off ...
