well i've been searching for a 2.4 motor for my sedan to drop in it. Well about a week ago i got a call from a friend of mine who said his sisters husband was selling his car for cheap. So i called and went and look at it, and ended up dropping $500 bucks on the table and ran off with it!! what a steal! I drove it to my girlfriends house, but thats about all it would do. The motor has a bad click in it...sounds like a valve slapping off the piston...but for $500 i couldnt pass it up. its a 98, 5 speed, 141,xxx miles, clean interior, and a good body for the year and the mileage. I started tearing into it, and tomorrow the cam towers and head should be coming off. Im figuring it wont be a while until i get the motor back in and running, but does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do performance wise or just things i should do while its all out? It's all coming out and getting rebuilt. Anyways, enough talk...onto the pics.

SORRY, can a mod delete this please.....didnt mean to double post
