No, I did not give up. Just out of money. The problem with the motor was the piston skirt on #3 piston broke off and many metal parts in the oil pan. So the po gave me the first motor and that one had a bad headgasket, so the plan is to use the bottom of the second motor and use the head of the first motor. The problem with that is one motor is a 1984 and the other motor is a 1985, so 85 head does not fit the 84 bottom. I am using the 84 bottom of the motor and now trying to save money to buy a 1984 head. I plan on getting this car going again but money is tight, and my wifes 1992 300D needs a new headgasket! So that has to come first, I will do that Tuesday. That is the story, sorry I will keep you up to date. Search-
