I think it would work, why not? Doubt that car has an identical issues of mine, I see where you are coming from.

In the grand scheme of things, I think it's worth it. I can finally correctly rebuild the vacuum system, change the waterpump housing so I can finally change the worn tensioner assembly.I stripped my fan clutch bolt.


Can change out my exhaust system quickly. Worse comes to worse if the car truly is junk, I'll have a bunch of "make you stuck parts" in trunk. Alternator, starter, and crank position sensor to name a few. Having a spare set of injectors is also nice, the list goes on and on.


My brother could use some parts as well.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
