Some minor repairs...
So as a few of you know, I bought my foxbody not knowing how badly it was burning oil. I found out pretty soon after driving it around for a while. Probably could have rolled with it but it bugged the crap out of me. I had a very strong suspicion that it was the valve guides so I decided to pull the heads off and send them to a machine shop.
So, started taking it apart late Thursday, dropped the heads off at the shop Friday morning, got them back Friday night, assembled and fired it up by Saturday morning. Not bad, eh?
Completely solved the problem, by the way. There is NO exhaust smoke and now it just smells like regular exhaust rather then burning oil. And it is driving like a brand new car, very glad I decided to use my weekend to do this.
Didn't take very many pictures...

Nice, and awesome turnaround from the shop.
My Dad and I are restoring a 49 ****** Jeep and the guy has had the engine for 2 months. It is still sitting exactly where we set it when we dropped it off. It won't be there next week. Either he starts working on it or we take it somewhere else.

It's fuel injected. And yes, I don't think I could have done it without the bud
