thanks for all the info, not sure what I am going to do with the car, try to sale and get some money back, or get another engine and sale, or repair this one and sale it.
The sad part is I can do the work, its just not something I really enjoy pulling engines on these models, too much stuff to take off and put back on. Maybe I can retro an old chevy engine into...lol lol.... |

However, it's now driving real sweet. It would cost me too much to get rid of it. In regards to using old Chevy motors in other cars, your comment sparked some memories. 30 years back, a friend did buy a Chevrolet Vega with the 283 c.i. Chevy engine in it. The car just had a 2-barrel carb, no headers - was basically just stock with the exception of some custom welded motor mounts. That lil' car would scream. Unfortunately, the drive shaft had been mated to the stock rear-end. Naturally, the stock rear end was just designed to be pushed by a 90 h.p., or so 4 cylinder engine, so it didn't handle the abuse it was taking. If I were to perform any kind of engine placement in another vehicle, I think a nice 350 c.i. Chevy engine with a Holly carb, custom headers, etc. would go nicely into an older Jaguar. Now, that would be the perfect sleeper vehicle. Then again, putting such a combo into your Milly may not be such a far-off idea. :) |

laughin in my sleep
that is impressive,but unless your a hot babe,its doesnt matter what you think about how i look.not much of a drag racer.i must be getting too old for speed.id rather cruise down the highway in a classic,i bleed 10w-30, 10w-40 in summer.it is true japan has higher standards and tighter tolerences.MUCH better workmanship thats for sure.my millenia looks/is better than any car ive ever had.the miller cycle is pretty awsome.its been in the 100's the past 2 months here and it was running a little funny, thats how i figure i had the wrong plugs.yesterday was 55 in the morning.man it ran great.alot of variables with the S model.cant wait till it cools down for awhile

After some tearing into the engine, and taking the valve cover off and turning the engine it was obvious that the cam lobes on cylinder 6 was not moving, that is when I discovered that the intake camshaft had broke clean into at cylinders 4 . It appears that it ran out of oil in those two areas and seized up.
Head is finally off, what a bear to get off, you almost have to take the car apart. See pic if I posted it correctly. Attachment 721 |
