I wouldnt put this off till Sunday, thinking your going to be driving it Monday..... thats a lot of work to get done with that list. Good luck though.

[edit] if you have a shop and a good mechanic, its possible then... I was just hoping you werent planning on doing all this in a couple of hours in your driveway or something. still going to be a long afternoon. hope you get along good w/ your girls dad. [img]smile.gif[/img]

any who you want it to be your rear main cause if it's the oilpan then you have to pull the motor, i think..........

my motor had 84K on it and when my dad pulled it the oil pan was fine but he said the rear main was REALLY bad

well unfortunalty if not possible to start it until sunday cause my girls dad has racing (dirt circle track) tonight and saturday which i'll be doing too. im hoping our skills at doing things in a hurry w/ percision will help. but im not relying on the car monday. to be sure

yeah, the exhaust was plained for this sunday but the leak popped out of no where. as for black mail, never thought of it that way. lol
we will take care of the leak first and if the exhaust cant get done then it will have to wait.
