I have to ask- if there is anyone out there that has a spare heater core they would like to donate to my cause (first rebuild) please let me know - i am desperate and i cant find a job without a car so i got a catch 22 situation-no money no fix no job-- no job no money cant fix- please if any one would like to donate a half decent non leaking heater core msg me thanks

 

I will see if I can find one laying around. I might have one that is not leaking bad but might last like a year or so. I do not think I am all that far from you either.

 

sweet bro - if its not bad im sure i can do a bit of soft brazing on it
sorry to ask man but im not managing to do to well at the moment - out of work for the last almost 2 years coz of work accident - then 3 month ago settlement got raped by attorney and then screwed by car dealer
in the end i was left broker than broke - i had to sell my 2 graphics cards out of my computer to buy the tools i needed and some of the parts -now i have a really nice computer sitting here and i cant use it - cost me almost $2500 to build -its huge
but sitting idle

 

yeah maybe you should come down n take a look at my car before i start it and make a real mess kinda unsure bout what ive done so far but not scared lol-- im 94.5% sure ive got it right -except for the fact that the intake pulley slipped (loose bolts) there is white out marks on pulley and shaft so i think its ok
i realigned the marks as close as i could i just dont want the valves to slap the pistons coz that would really F%$# up my year!!!!
your only 4 hours (3 with a volvo) away but i live out in the boonies

 

You should be fine. You can be atleast one tooth on each pulley off and still be fine.
Also make sure you turn it over by hand first. If it is off alot it will just stop turning and not bend the valves unless you go jumping on the breaker bar to try to get it to move.

Where exactly are you located?
