Default One Bad Week

Well, I guess I have to whine a little. Yesterday I picked up a detonation problem. My initial conclusion was that I blew a head gasket or intake gasket. I took it to someone who knew what they were talking about and they said that I had chattery valves and they needed adjusting. That's quite a bit better than head work I guess. And today I would push the clutch to the floor and it wouldn't engage and I couldn't get it in gear so I think that my slave cylinder went out so I had to get towed. Does this hypothosis sound correct? Any other ideas are welcomed....One other thought, my clutch hydraulics might need to be bled. That might do the trick.

Just another painful note of news to add. The bad slave cylinder has multiplied into the bank account sucking monster problem of a burnt out clutch also. This puts all of my planned mods off by about 5 months. That sucks
