For those who met me and get a glimpse of my 93 ruby vert, I may have mentioned that the car needed a new clutch and intake gaskets. Well, I have been working on the car since the middle of october and the parts that need to be replaced, and the parts I want to add is increasing. I have done everything to essentially pull the motor out, (upon inspection, the engine needed head gaskets.) so I basically took it upon me to replace ALL gaskets. Here's a pic of the engine out and the block with a fresh coat of black POR-15 engine enamel

Also, take a look at the inside of the bellhousing. No wonder why my clutch was slipping. I take it oil was getting onto the clutch.
