Hey all, I just accuired a 95 Ef Auto, The past owner said it was over heating, so I removed the head that was cracked after someone had taken a bit of oil out of the sump (leaving maybe" water on top of the the middle cylinder where the crack was round about")
because the car was sitting there it had orange dust wich i could blow semi clean,, on the middle cylinder the block needs a good clean,, what is affected are the bearings/seals/ affected will i need to take out all the cylinders and clean them with this much water and heat, i dont know what could be affected the car was running when i got it but verry ruff.


any input would be of great asset as really enjoy the car, and would like to further upgrade the engine with a supercharger, saving me from hopefully changing transmision,,$$,,, yet still would like driving it with a manual,,

Post up some pics to give us a better idea on whats going on.

If you have cash, I have a supercharger kit and a manual conversion you could buy.
