OK what a day!  I was listenning to the engine of my 85 1.9L engine last
night when I heard and felt a crunch!  It happened when I was reving the
engine to listen for bog-outs.  The noise was from the right side of the
enine and it actually moved the block.  But now things are working fine and
driving OK.  Well do you think it could be the PISTON,  I hope I don't need
to get as far down as the Main Bearings.  That would be a pain in the rear.
 Well if anyone has good news about this problem I would be happy to hear.
But really I understand I am going to have a lot of work ahead of me.
SOmeone wants to sell me a 85 rebuilt with 0miles on it but it is for
around $800 Can which translates to $5 bucks US, No really like $500
dollars.  I think that might be a good choice for me.  I could sell the
other engine for a bit.  Well Bye.
