yeah its original motor what i was gonna do instead of just repairing them is to just order a whole new cylinder head for it and rebuild the top half of the motor instead of band aiding what i got ...and yeah its been a can of worms since ive gotten it 3 weeks ago needless to say i traded my truck for a serious project but i dont mind my license is suspended for the next year anyways so im only driving the car to and from work so as long as it can make that minimal commute it'll be okay till i can get the time to get in there and fix it i should be ordering the new head next week or so
