Bits and pieces ... ... ...

So we recently took a car in that came from another shop. Car took fifteen minutes to cold start. Engine sounds horrible. Wiring issues left and right. Grounds broken, disconnected and/or missing. So we got around to leakdown testing the engine and this is what we found today. We will update the thread as we look into and find more.

It's suppose to be. But. It's missing pieces of the cams, retainers and arms.

I know that harness. I have seen them melt a few times.

Definitely has some issues. Oil issue for one. Was the oil pressure spilter on the head?
