INSPECTION DETAILS
FILTER
POST PURCHASE INSPECTION. CHECK COMPRESSION AND CYLINDER LEAKAGE.
TECHNICIAN NOTE
All cylinder leakage is between 8 and 12%. This is optimal. All compression is between 133 and 140 psi., however there are broken head studs. And oil seepage around the base of cylinder number six. The engine must be rebuilt to repair these issues.
CHECK WHY THE CLUTCH DOESNT DISENGAGE SEE ALAN.
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Found that the clutch actuator is okay. Found that there was a broken wire by the shifter itself. The repair has been made. Also found that the coupler bushing is completely disintegrated new coupler needed.
HAZARDS/TURN SIGNALS
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Needs Hazard relay it is intermittent.
HEATER AND A/C PERFORMANCE
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Air conditioning compressor is missing entirely. Needs all heater hoses. Some are crushed some are missing. The main plastic one is available. The rear auxiliary blower motor does not work. It is not seized. Need more time
CHECK BATTERY, CABLE, HOLDER - IF ACCESSIBLE
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Needs a battery tests bad. Cable connections and hold down clamp are okay. I went ahead and cleaned all fuse panel connections and replaced fuses because this will help me to diagnose what is wrong with the remainder of the vehicle. 5 hour for this repair and clean up
CONDITION OF BRAKE FLUID
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Needs a brake Master cylinder. It is leaking. It just has not leaked onto the ground yet because of the nature of where it is placed. Needs brake fluid flush and Reservoir cleaned. The fluid level was very low.
FREQUENCY
Check every 20 months or 20000 mi
SPARK PLUGS/IGNITION WIRES/IGNITION COILS
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Spark plug wires cap, rotor, and ignition coil all are original. Spark plugs are Platinum. Compression on all cylinders is between 133 and 140 psi. Also in the leakage is between 8 and 10% leakage. However as noted in the other section about the cylinder head studs being broken. I don't know how many studs are broken until the valve covers are removed. Regardless this engine will need an engine rebuild.
ENGINE LEAKS
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Engine has been thoroughly pressure washed recently, however number 6 cylinder base is seeping oil. I realized the pictures don't look that dramatic however this is an issue and there's more than likely a broken stud. Inspecting the cylinder is already missing a stud and nut that is not visible. This is just what I can see without removing valve covers.
MISC
TECHNICIAN NOTE
Car has been updated with a permatune ignition system and a rebuilt fuel distributor at one time. Needs all intake manifold Runner boots to the intake manifold itself. Cracking. Also advised installing a backfire valve. Also needs rear fuses replaced on the rear panel they are also corroded badly. Needs air filter hold down straps are falling apart. Air filter is really old.
