It was Washington's Birthday (observed) and Presidents Day.

[Mister_Perkins]

Well I knew it was Washingtons B-day, but I didn't realize that it was actually a "Holiday" like thanksgiving or something. What are you supposed to do on this holiday?? lol

Well i got the motor out and bam well it bent the rod im not to the point to tell is i can reuse the block i hope so the rod got riped out of the piston and nicked up the crank so if anyone has a block for sale let me know would be great.

[Burnwithin]

well after further look i think i can hone it slap another crank and rod in it and run it post ur opinoins plz i could really use it i love my camry to death and ill do anything to keep it going

I got a crankshaft if you need one.. Motor had low compression on cylinder 1 because of stuck rings. Might be easier to just buy a new one for $200.00 thats already machined but I got one if ya need one.

well i got a std crank that i can use from a 80k motor but the block is broke so all i really need is a block if i cant use my own im at work atm and been really busy but im trying to get the pics on.
