yeah I wasn't questioning what should be done I guess in my mind I was thinking I can't do all that anyway I couldn't rebuild a motor.

I can't even get this motor started without screwing up. I will just have to run the motor and get as many miles out of it as I can and then have it rebuilt.

also I had a head gasket go out on my v6 and water got in the oil. I changed the gasket and the oil and it is still running.

Thanks again for the help
