This is where my head was at when Jason said worn engine, this block was over heated twice in my first 6 months because I was completely clueless when I got the car, although the rings must have been shot then too because it couldn't make it to the next oil change before burning through oil, thinner oils where gone even faster. I am moving over to 40 weight and hopefully that helps a fair bit.

As for Alex's comment, I am going to start keeping my eye out for a shell. I started working on the garage some more (pictures soon) and if I can find a rolling shell Alex's is right I don't have an excuse cause that complete swap becomes pretty easy if it's just the block. I am just a little paranoid that if it's not running when the kid is here that it will be too long of a wait to get it to that point.
I love this board cause you guys are honest, don't ever think I don't appreciate that!
