about 4 months ago i got a 90 acura integra gs for free. it did not run and has a lot of body damage.but i have painted the car and it is running just fine, with the exception of it needs a clutch. what should i do with this engine. it still runs ***** out and will take one of my friends car who has a 92 teg with 90,xxx. i want to start adding parts to this engine but i am afraid there is way to many miles on it. another thing when i got it it had over heating problems and in the process of putting a new timming belt and water pump on it i noticed the timming covers had melted to the head and some of the bolts were melted to the plastic too. i have heard that timming covers are very hard to break or mealt and that the motor must have been ran at outragous numbers to do this....so that also scares me...help please i cant stop thinkiin about what to do with it.
