If this is wrong to post this move it somewhere or delete it, but i have some info for this owner.

My friend bought this car from you, he sold me the engine out of it, he said it was an efi problem. He said the intake manifold wasnt tightened down when he took it off so it was an EFI and vacuum problem, well guess what else.

I filled it up with coolant after i put my manifolds on it torqued down the right way, and coolant started leaking out of the tranny, after screaming obscenities for a while i gave up until i had more time.

Well today after removing the tranny, i've found that EVERY LAST TENSION BOLT WAS HAND TIGHT. There was coolant leaking out of them. I torques them all down to 29 ft/lbs and the leaking has stopped and hopefully, i will not have any other issues.

However, the person who sold this car sold it as non-running, the one i bought the engine out of, so, if it was you who sold the car, who also built the engine, you are terrible, or the guy i bought it from lied(i dont think so since he has always been trustworty in the past), or, you need to go cuss out who you bought the engine from/paid to rebuild it and put it in and demand your money back.

I find it sickening that anyone would do something as careless as this when putting an engine together.

You know...**** happens sometimes.

On my first rebuild, something got f'd up and I tightened the tension bolts down to some ungodly torque number and couldn't even turn the engine over and ended up ruining one of the rotor housings.

We have all done the stupidest things when working on cars.

hey man maybe it wasnt on purpose. maybe they hand tightened those bolts just to put them on so they can start on something else and forgot to get back to them.

**** happens. calm down. you fixed the problem!

Yeah i'm hoping everything will be ok now. Next time I have some free time to get the tranny back in i should have the car running : )

I'm confused......if it was sold as non running what do you have to bitch about? sold as is non running shouldn't matter if the engine fell apart when yanked out as it was non-running. He may have just thrown everything in there in prep for the sell of a non-running car. Sometimes we have to take responsiblility for ourselves and think maybe we ought to check out the bolts, engine, etc of a used non-running car bought from a guy whos name you don't know or can't remember.
