James,

Thanks for your information.

The car is not running as I purchased it this way. I got it at a really good price.

The water pump had seized up and tossed the piston's into the head.

I've removed the head and fixed the two valves that were bent. While it was out I noticed that two of the exhaust manifold bolts were loose. Upon further inspection one of the two had snapped off. Now the head needs to go to a machine shop as the stud is stainless steel and I do not have the equipment to drill it out and retap.

Once I get it back it should be a day or two to put the car all back together and get it started. I've already set the CAMs to TDC, and the pistons, so now I just need to reassemble. The PO had kept up the maintenance from what I can tell as the PCV system is new, but while I'm in there I'm replacing the lower and upper radiator hoses as they are just buried in there.

Once the car is running I need to clean up the brake rotors and then check to see if I can tell if the Haldex has ever been serviced. If I can't, I'll contact the PO and ask. He did have the transmission flushed, but I don't know if that included the Haldex in the rear as well.

Overall the car is in great shape and will be a great addition to my fleet.

regards,

Matt
