Kill her, Slap yourself for letting her drive it, and Rebuild.

** Current status: 9 bent valves. and it only had 6,000 miles on it. i hope the replacement goes well. **

Lots of expensive parts, and still slow! Oh wait, it has to run to go fast.

when my engine let go I got a used low mileage motor (thanks deej!) and I'm now building the old one, but it's very salvagable. might want to do a teardown to make sure the block isn't toast
