It's all good. I'm not too worried. I'll get the TK test done. If sh'es Fubar I will wack in another short motor while Im at it. I'll most likely pull the engine out with a couple of friends. So Im sure the learning curve is going to be steep!
Mo Money, Mo money Haha

unless you take the engine out yourself, which is an excellent learning experience if you have the time.
btw not trying to scare you, best thing you can do is get the TK test done before you make any assumptions. there's a chance (albeit a small one IMHO) it's something small like the radiator cap.
