Well... more car problems...
Mar. 6th, 2005 08:57 pm...I'll definitely be buying
talesin's car.
Because Bill's old Corolla AE82 is starting to have more and more engine problems. It seems like the exhaust/intake manifold gasket failing is causing more gaskets to fail. Either that, or they were damaged when the car initially had the overheating trouble, which is possible as well.
It runs badly unless it's at higher RPM's now, and if it idles too low it's stalled out a couple times. Unfortunately, that means it's more-or-less not long for this world near as I can tell from looking through various service manuals for that model of car, as I lack a fucking garage I can disassembly the damn car in and fix it at.
*sigh* If I just had a fucking garage I could break down the engine at and rebuild it over the weekend. Or even just buy a rebuilt engine and swap them... but the cost to pay someone else to swap the engine is exorbitant. :-/
