for sure!!! that engine had been down that often all the studs had no threads on them,sure i kept helicoil in buisness in the the 80's
still for all its weeknesses it was still one of the classics,
think chell may be paying you a visit soon.

one funny thing i did notice were the people that owned them all looked the same,and my wife would not wear her headscarf :lol:
