So after dealing w/ all these Smog issues & the Seller flaking on me even though he's a Dealer 
I need to replace my 2.3L in my 87' since the Compression level is so low in my #3 cylinder the Carbon levels would never pass CA State Smog test. I replaced the Plugs, wired, EGR, New air filter, Oil Change, and Tuned it up but its still messed. So I found a Long block in town for around $500, Any tips before grabbing this one up & getting the cherry picker ready to take out the old engine ?
