Thanks guys! I also made my fuel filler door a remote release like the factory. Again, the owner before me cut that shit up too. I found a black door and all the hardware and threw it in.

As some of you know, my head gasket went and melted some of the cylinder head away in the process in my attempt to limp it to shelter. Here's pics of the carnage:

I'll be going up tonight after work to get the timing and anything else I can get done, done. I can't thank Twack enough for doing this for me. I owe him big time.

Went up to twack's last night to get this shit together. Let me say timing is kind of a pain in the ass on DSM's. Once I got it on it was rewarding though. Twack had some tips too, but I still think the chrysler 2.2 I did was easier.

Here's a table idea that was spawned using a 6 bolt bottom end twack picked up:

Thanks, but we're not out of the woods yet. We gotta put coolant back in it plug the cop back in and bolt it down, put the plugs in, etc. Not too much more though, then we can start it up.

It's finally home!


After a nerve-racking drive home without my headlights working she is back home. I went to turn the lights on before we left Twack's and low and behold, the fuckers wouldn't turn on. So I had to follow my girlfriend in my Stratus home.


I would talk more and show pics and what not, but I'm tired.

So I changed my oil today with some thick ass Valvoline VR1 20W50. Yay or nay? I think my engine is loving it.
