Thanks for the reply, Guess. As for Wayne Calvert, I just called that shop yesterday and the guy I spoke with said he doesn't want to mess with these engines. I suppose you just have to ask for the right person? $2700 sounds a lot better than what I would've expected but I guess doing the removal and installation diy helps keep the labor costs down. Never pulled an engine before but if you find yourself with lots of free time and the inclination to help, maybe we could work something out, lol. My car is currently sitting at my brother's house in Sanger. That's where she broke and that's where she still sits. But yeah man, I'm always up to go for a ride or check out other TRs. I'll keep an eye out for your PM. Thanks again!
