Did you go back to the chrysler line? There were a bunch of talons back there. Alot of them have snow in them because of the recent storm. Mine luckily had the valve cover still on it.

WTF, taillights are $1 per inch? Anyone bought dsm tail lights from them? How do them measure. I may get a set and spray tint them.

Just for an update, I finally had a chance to tear into the car. Turns out the balance shaft belt snapped and caused the timing to jump. It also smashed up the timing cover. The cam gears are about 1/3rd off from what they are supposed be at. Tomorrow nite I'm going to try to reset the timing and see if it starts. Then we will see if the valves got hit.

[A//// Guy]

That will do er. How many teeth did it skip? Past like 3-5 Im sure it hit, just depends how hard.

Actually Shane said that my timing belt didn't skip. My CAS was 180* backwards. Who ever did the engine rebuild realy fuxored up on that.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

The CAS isn't 180 backwards, it's just turned as far as you can go clockwise, so it was probably running way way too much timing, which it's good.

[npaulseth]

Ohhh, I totally misunderstood you then. Well, the whole knock thing isn't good though.

Another update. Got the head off tonite. I bent all the intake valves and the screwed up the intake cam when the rockers fell off of their perches. Luckily the exhaust valves were fine. I have the parts needed for one good head now so I'm going start getting things back together. I picked up the head gasket set yesterday. Hopefully this will only take a short while to get it back together.

I miss my car!!!!! I want to drive my car again!!!! :rally: :3gears:

Lucky you have all the parts...that's awesome!! :D

[MATCHBX]

I actually split the roller part of one of the rockers. I showed the people that came over to the last poker party. The nice thing is I have about 30 of them to choose from now.

I finished cleaning the head tonite and am taking it to the machine shop tomorrow. The intake valves from the junkyard head are good so I'm going to have them regrind the valves and seats for the intake. I'm going to have them look at the exhaust seats and valves and see what they think. More than likely they will be replaced along with the guides. After that things are gong to be port matched and put back on the car. Hopefully I will have it running before next weekend (not this weekend obviously).
