i might be interested in one of those too toby!

Oh and my car is finally getting worked on! Looks like there was a shitload of carbon buildup around the valves, probably what was causing all the smoke. Compression test showed 175 across the board, 160 in #6... leakdown showed it was mostly oil, which was surprising.

Valve grind happening tomorrow, then we'll do the seals and all the top end gaskets. Also had a little coolant leak under the throttlebody.

Now all I need to do is find out what's wrong with the heatercore, maybe slap in a new clutch while we're at it and should be good to go!

I sold all my gauges and safc though a while back... if anyone has a line on a decent set lmk.
