I forget, was it a bent reflector wheel or carnage?

pretty sure reluctor wheel is the only problem, but won't know till the pan gets dropped.
he was supposed to send me pics that he took of it, but hasn't and probably wont.

borrow a see snake. stick her in the hole. see whats up. IF thats even the problem......

thats what they did and was supposed to send me the images. it only looks like one tooth is bent.

then it would have started right up.

At this poing buy a long block an swap it out

it turned over, but the teeth were bent pretty bad and it wouldn't start.

and yeah that's the goal at this point.

They don't just bend. They are actually a bitch to bend and probly need a good pry or hammering to bend.

that's what I've been hearing, regardless of what the problem(s) the motor must come out. so I'm going to sit on my hands for a while till he can understand his situation then I'll be calling you (might be a winter job). Kids getting married in October so I hope he can get enough $ to fix his shit. I hate being the only one of my local friends with a running car, even if I can't make it to any shows or meets... lol
