Driving home on the interstate, cruising at 75, I could hear the engine didn't sound like it should.

Long story short, just on the 1-mile trip to her final resting place, I could hear 9 different kinds of bad going on up there.

I'll be parting her out in the next couple weeks. All the cosmetics and non-engine related things first. Once I get into the engine and discover what is all wrong, I'll decide whether or not I'm comfortable selling anything lower than the LIM.

But... this is it. After everything that's happened, good and bad, this is where it ends.

That sucks dude. With the price of low KM motors these days it may be worthwhile to put a new one in it and sell it? Or just move your cam and what not over to the new motor.
