Thanks to everyone for all your feedback. Great info. The claims adjuster came by today and told me that the car is totalled. Turns out he's a fellow parishoner at my church and was quite helpful. He did indicate that I would probably be able to buy the car back for minimal cost, but I guess...

The fire happened about 10PM with the car parked in the driveway and me in the house. Didn't know anything was happening until the right front tire caught fire from the battery and wiring meltdown and exploded. The tire explosion let me know that something bad was happening outside...

The paperwork that the insurance company has sent me indicates that, if they determine that the car is totalled, that I would need to sign over the title to the car and that they will take possession of it as part of the settlement. It sounds like I don't have an option to keep the car - or do I?

Thanks - I really appreciate the guesstimate. I'm just trying get an idea of realistic settlement value.

Here's another excellent 4.1L article: TurboBuicks.com - Build a Budget 4.1 Motor!

CTX-SLPR, All I can say is WOW - excellent info! I must have been working on my last post when you posted yours. I noticed you had posted on a few of the links I listed. We're pleased to have your input here.

Good info, guys. I checked out the Advance Adapters site - looks like the part might only be around $120. I'll have to check it out further. Came across a good thread on the site here at http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/engine-tech/231471-86-87-heads-85-block.html. Check out the post by...

Great info, Kovmat - thanks. I think I came across an article like that myself not too long ago. Cool. Not being very familiar with the engine yet, I wonder if the oil return hole can be drilled out in the block without having to disassemble?
