hopefully you didn't pay too much for the car then

no i went to do it myself...oil leaking everywhere.... motor needs pulled to get tube out. (second mechanic looked at it) im loosing too much oil to drive it anywhere....

the headers are sealed to the heads....you can see the adhesive....no bolts in one collector.

i was too eager to buy.

need to be at 1k or under including install cost.

**INSANELY CRAZY** · 02-10-2007, 06:09 PM

wow... i had no issues the few times i drove it...

adhesive on headers?? didn't see that

had no exaust leak (would've leaked if missing bolt)

also had no oil stains in driveway...

i only drove car 4-5 times...

it's crazy to pull motor for an dipstick, motor runs strong...

Oil leaking everywhere is probably from the dipstick not being in it? How far down in the block did the tube break off?

Check this, its got to come out, can't be in that tight,people just want your money. If its rusty soak it with some penetrating oil. Gotta improvise a little. Hope this helps

Jared, have you done a leak down test? It takes a lot to hurt these things. I agree with the post above about the dip stick. It shouldn't need pulled to get it out.

I agree with Don,it might take a little work but it's not the end of the world.But if that motor is messed up other ways,there is one on wv streets with aod trans for 300 supposedly came out of a 90.
