    LMAO! Keith your priceless...Hey man sorry again about not bringing the hoist back in a timely fashion. We were kinda on a timely basis so they could only help work on it when they got out of class so that's why it took so long. I appreciate you letting me use it though.

    motor looks fine to me....coolant is in the cylinder because you pulled the heads off.... So now why does it not run? .....no power steering and no brakes? why?

    Well yeah the only thing that was really wrong with it was the intake manifold leaking and the head gasket. But in the process of putting it back together the power steering is ****ed up, and I have no idea why the brakes aren't working. The power steering pulley shakes quite a bit while idling too...found out when I got home one of the hoses was loose but theres no way to hook it back onto the manifold because the nipple broke off..Just tired of dealing with this car and need something for a good DD and wont decide to leak everywhere.
