Thank you guys and it feels good to have a SC again, I THINK
Its been about a year and every time I step on the gas in my v6 LX I feel like im missing 3 cylinders it revs up and thats about it. This one dose not run yet.
Im now taking parts donations so if you have anything just drive by my house and throw it onto the front lawn

Well looks like its going to be more work then expected. # 1 cylinder has
125 psi, #2 has 60 psi, and #3 has 150 psi. This is a brand new engine{yah right}. looks like the guy who had this cooked the engine before he had a chance to drive it. Looks like its engine pulling time but its nice and clean and most of bolts are missing. Check this out, 3 bolts holding the trany to engine, one bolt on each exhaust flange, one on the starter, one on the coil pack. Its a good thing he didnt drive it or there would be some free SC parts on the road. I was hopeing that who ever installed the engine did not rebuild it but look like the same guy did it all. Oh and when you put antifreeze in it it looks like a lawn sprinkler This is why if you have never worked on a SC dont try to rebuild one untill you know the car inside and out. Well got to go now and find some bolts and pull this thing down to the bone.

Mark,
I knew you couldn't stay away too long. As soon as i pulled out of the driveway with your last SC, i bet u felt that itch again haha. Well good luck with this one, i'm sure you will be fine with it though, nothing u can't handle (I think i smell an AR project). Lemme know if you're gonna sell it when its finished....I might be able to find you a buyer. My friend with a 98 V6 Firebird (hahaha) is starting to get tired of me putting him to shame.

P.S.- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Pete, this is your cars twin except for the grey interrior and 5 speed. You dont have a spare engine do you? just kidding. The brakes seem to be fine. Stop by when you get home and check it out. Talk to you soon, Mark
P.S. When you guys gonna join the club to see the rest of the boards?
It will be the cheapest thing you ever bought for this car.

That would certianly explain one of the coolant leaks.

The same young man assembled the engine One bolt held the jack shaft to the heads, one held the alt-power steering bracket on and it was finger tight. Fuel rails= loose bolts, valve covers missing bolts, and I think the biggest problem was all the intercooler tubes were very loose= lean engine condition. This thing did run for a day. Im not complainig as I like to make things right again and save yet another bird from the jaws of the crusher but if some of you out there are good at building models and have no mecanical back ground, stick with the models. Engine comes out tonite. I think im looking at holes in the pistons. Its sad because of all the work he put into it but life is a learning experience, even for me. The rest of the car is great except the back bumper but its a work in progress.
