Yeah, I think I will just scrap this one. I don't think I can fix this cylinder without taking it all apart and having it done at a machine shop, which is exactly what I don't want to do. At least I got it out and now I can start cleaning the engine compartment and thinking of the next step about an engine.

What you need Leo is a nice wreck to pull a good "complete" motor out of. What you have now is just the first shoe to drop the block sucks, the expensive part is that the fuel injection most likely is bad too. Much better to find a motor that works in a bad body. One step at a time, you will get it going.

Yeah, I just have to be patient on this one.

Great looking car. Kind of reminds me your little yellow Tr7 from High School.

Ha, that does bring back memories Mike! The engine in that Yellow TR7 seized on me one day and I built a Ford 302 small bock, paired with a 4speed tranny and put it in the TR7. Almost killed me it was so fast, ended up doing a couple 360's in it non-intentional. Sold it soon after that. I gotta find some pics of that car. I know their in boxes somewhere.

Find those pix...I want to see that beast!

That was a fun car. Remember driving to Magic Mtn for grad night? That was fun.
Come to think of it I think that was the last time I was ever at Magic Mtn. My son
wants to go back to California so he can go to Disney Land. It was strange how much
it had changed.

Yes put up the pictures. That would be great!

In case you want to try to repair that cylinder yourself, see this thread.

Is this an Alusil Block?

Yessir.
