Ok point taken but here is my thoughts on that if I pull the pearlie engine now to do the gasket then lets say $250 for gasket kit and another 200 for timing belt and then I should do the water pump since I am in there and maybe oil pump also. I don't think the gasket kit will come with the washers for the valve covers but those bolts and washers would be replaced just to be thorough so I am looking at close to $800 for that. Just seems like a numbers game as to how much money now or later. Either way the pearlie will get the engine pulled and the seals replaced just a matter of when. I would not be swapping body panels. I plan to get a lighter hood (CF or FG) for either car.
I am thinking I will let fate decide I will wait until Saturday when I could actually go and pick up the car if it is still there then I will get it (after talking about price) if it is gone then just wasn't meant to be.
