For those of you who don't know, a few weeks ago I bought an 82 wagon that had been sitting in some guy's backyard for 8 months but "ran fine" for $50. Upon pouring water into the radiator it spilled out of every imaginable orifice, indicating a blown headgasket. The oil pan being filled with chocolate pudding (water/oil puree) further reinforced that idea. Plus, the engine wouldn't turn over more than twice. Fast f1orward to yesterday when I decide to de-emission the engine and lose lots of other crap it doesn't need in preperation to yank it out and fix stuff. I pulled off the valve cover breathers (one was capped off, duh!) and turned the engine over by hand. Chocolate pudding litterally poured out of them in big nasty gobs every rotation for many rotations. Then I realized the 3rd eye wasn't plugged in, so for kicks I plugged it in and borrowed the Brat's battery to see if it worked. It didn't.... but the engine did. Defying several laws of physics and amazing the crap out of me, the spark plugs which were terribly fouled caused explosions in the cylinders which had been full of pudding for eight months. She ran like crap blowing smoke with 2 blown headgaskets, no radiator and no alternator for about 30 seconds, but she did indeed run. I am in complete disbelief. SUBARU FTW!

I bought an engine that set for 4 years and after I put it in my car it fired right up. Had one heck of a tod untill the HLAs got pumped up but ran very well untill I cracked a head and it still ran but I changed it with another engine untill I can replace the heads.
