Well as my financial situation gets worse and worse every day I have to sell the T to try to turn everything around. I bought the car early this year from the member FATRIDE on here. Drove it for a month and blew a head gasket while boosting 16 lbs on a hot day with 93 octane. Gasket blew into the lifter valley so no coolant got into the oil.
The car then sat in my driveway for like 3 1/2 months until I finally got around to fixing it sometime late last month. Drove the car for one day after fixing the head gasket and started to hear a knocking noise after only boosting 10 lbs. Immediately after hearing the knock I stopped driving the car and had intentions of pulling the motor out over the winter. I have come to realize I am broke and have no time to deal with this so the car needs to go.
Sounds to me like a main bearing has gone south. THE ENGINE ONLY KNOCKS WHEN IT IS UNDER LOAD, and I've heard a rod bearing go out before
and this is more like a low pitched noise.
Basically everything you need to know is on either of the links below along with pictures of the car. CAR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST AND INTERIOR IS IN AWESOME CONDITION.

Let me know if your interested or need any more information
PLEASE EMAIL ME ABOUT THE CAR THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT ME.
