Re: Dear twack and albert lea mike and all primo members please post!

All right guys, quit the s@#$ talking,
Sure the car has some issues, and Nick you may have over paid for it,
but blaming others who just pointed out a car is not advisable by me.

As you all may know the car has been up Primo getting the issues worked out,

sorry to post this but I think It may help.
there is more to the list but its late and I want to go to sleep, LOL

things I have found...
-In my opinion, the head was removed at some recent point and a few bolts either worked themselves loose or just weren't replaced,(thus missing all the lower intake mani bolts and had one broken exhaust stud,)
-Nick just had bad luck with the used starter he brought and needed a new one(starter engagement issue)
-The radiator was brown and brittle I advised to replace it, (once removed I noticed the top hose neck had cracked off, and was clamped past the break)
-the Injector seals were leaking on two injectors(replaced all injector seals)
-the knock sensor "existed" but the wire leads had been torn off,
-the Idle stop switch was not there, and the lead to it had broken off,(installed new spade connector)
-the coolant temp sensor wires had cracked/corroded/broken, re soldered new connectors and such,
-And the Vibration noises well thats the tires and the need of a rear wheel bearing,
-the transmission does not shift well into 1st gear, shifts fine in all others,
(I need to re check the cable adjustments in the AM though,)

I will post more if need be,

Hope all this "personal stuff" gets worked out
