Well it was a hope anyway. I have pulled pistons from the bottom of V8 cars. There does not appear to be anything that would stop them if the crank was removed. And the head gasket is just another expense to drive up the cost.
But at this point, I am not going to spend another 500 on this thing.
I am either going with the turbo, or just going to scrap the car.
I am really getting tired of working on this thing. It has been the one I should have never got!
