Hey... I like that and will give it a try - Thanks.

If it doesn't work - I won't be spending any money to fix it - it just isn't
worth it. Even if I could do it myself, it's not worth the time so she'll
get ebayed. In this case it's a shame. I love the car - it just feels
great and still handles really really well. The engine is noisy and is
probably ready to die. Unfortunately, no car repair seems to come in under
$500 anymore. Probably would be cheaper to buy a used engine and have
somebody slap it in. Less technical anyway.

I'll consider SteelSeal - thanks
Jerry
