agent75 37 Report post Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I also got the cat converters off same car and these were excellent which suggests no excessive oil burning. Edited July 25, 2021 by agent75 Clarity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agent75 37 Report post Posted July 25, 2021 More information- I just noted that the belt tensioner is missing - my friend borrowed it as a quick fix for his car some time ago and said he would replace it. He never did - yay. Lucky he's a good bastard. Still comes with computers, afm , air box, manifolds , first section of exhaust, alternator,, starter, ps pump blah blah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
