I'm basically tearing everything down to the head and sending the block and head off to be worked on. After 164k miles, something has to be worn, so I'm not leaving anything open.
www.nationalcylinderhead.com will be doing the work on the head and block for me. $1250 to get it done.
I'll be honest, I've never done anything like this, and it's been one huge learning experience for me. I'd never do it for the Capri again, but maybe for a RWD car. Less hassle with the tranny.
I had to do the engine removal -and- preserve the A/C. I diden't want to lose it. Something the pictures diden't show was the removal of the right half-shaft attached, as I coulden't get it off. I had to take it off at an angle. When I mean right half-shaft, I meant the drivers side. Was looking at the pictures.
Get the Engine/Block worked on, replace anything worn, make it run like new, and have fun. The basic idea.
