Then he said that the valve springs are on the way out ,the engine has valve float at higher rpm . So what could go wrong next .have thought of just selling the ute and cut my loses . The ute is cursed ,it has to be . Might have to get a exorcism done to it so the china men that I ran over leaves me alone . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now know what's wrong. Plus you know your car us capable of more. Allot more. Never built a project car. But always been told get a budget. Then double it. Make it safe save and then make it the car you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much easier to read than a cobalt.Hang in there, your soooo close to sorting it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
