Well, the car is back together and runs like a new car. I don't believe any valves were bent, compression is still very good for a car with high miles. Speaking of high miles, I was wrong about the miles on the car 
And this is cast into the engine block
It really is a Yoda
Jim's right, there are plenty of "fish in the sea".

I had an '86 that had actually been assembled in Japan. Part of the vin tag and all the stuff under the hood was in Japanese.

Hey everyone!
Had a good day today. Installed my DP tuner, I've been out playing all day. Ridden in tuned trucks before but its just so much different when its your own. The power is....amazing to say the least. Gets a little squirrely in the race tune, I need tires pretty bad.
10K....thats plenty to pay for my trip up there one of these weekends!

Also, name the weekend
Thanks I clean up real nicely, problem is I hate wearing real nice clothes, I prefer jeans a t-shirt and a hoodie sweat shirt.
I thought she looked really pretty that night, too damn bad I was nervous as hell and she has her eye on different guys
. I just wish I could impress her enough to give me a chance.

Try one time having a shot or two of whiskey to take the edge off, and just be yourself, like the non nervous guy we see on here! Once you get past that little bit of nervousness, youll be beating them women off of you with a stick!
I also need some tires. I have my mt/r's on my steelie rims on right now and my nice shiny 17 inch rims sitting in my shed, just waiting for a good deal on tires for them to get back in use!

I thought it was funny seeing it spelled like that, especially being cast in.

LOL, well here's some more. This really explains why there is a Toyoda casting on a Toyota. Apparently Toyota, in the beginning, was called Toyoda (after its founder). Later, the name was changed to Toyota, and at that point the machining division became its own company, separate from the automotive division, which remained Toyoda.
