Well steve got it on the lift, and found out that the balance shaft belt, got something caught in it, and was shredding the belt. So all is good. I should have her back by monday or tuesday.

That why I asked it it still has balance shafts.

And I answered you in an earlier post. Its running a walbro 190, i think the ad said. I wasnt informed of any prexisting fuel issues before the sale, wouldve made me think a little more about buying it.

Since its been a while, I figured I would post up a little update.
The talon has been taking a nap under a blanket of snow, until today when my family mechanic stopped by. After a few minutes and a compression test, we found out it had none in a couple cylinders....compression that is. I guess the lower timing belt pulley wiggled loose a bit, allowing the belt to jump some teeth and bend some valves.
So, I will need a head, and then we will check over the rest of it as well.

The talon is heading out to the family mechanics house tomorrow. Gonna hurt my pocket a little bit, but I should have her back next week!

Well, sucky, but hopefully all will be well. Maybe slap in some arp headstuds?

I believe theres a set already installed, and a cometic hg thats going to waste. I just want to get it running good, mods will have to wait now.
When I get it back I'm planning on fixing a couple cosmetic things. Need a new driver side end piece for the spoiler, a front bumper cover, and maybe a new driver side fender (its orange peeling).
