It is official, rods are toast. Now rebuilders

I would love to be able to inspect it myself. But the idea of somehow lifting the engine, and wedgin a 2x4 and then pushing just so I can somehow get the oil pan gives me the creeps.

I do not have a garage, and I dont have hoist or stand or any of that stuff.
I do have 4 jack stands:)

Also I am in a small time crunch where I need to be able to drive this car to/from work startin in Sept. And I dont work well under pressure. :( to quote Bowie
