We pulled the engine this afternoon (I'm sure my clients were thrilled with my absence from the office) and will take a look at the bottom end tomorrow if all goes according to plan.

I love the previous post about the Pontiac and its owner in a state of disbelief. I must admit to not being much of a "real" mechanic (hopefully I'm better at being a lawyer)but I am truly amazed that this thing still ran.
