That's what I was afraid of.
The good news is that I'm living at Pappaw's house now, and there's an iron beam with a chain for engine pulling (since if I'm going this far into it, I may as well pull it and have everything inspected)

The bad news is that the car is at Mom and Dad's. I'll pull the over valve cover tomorrow and have a look I guess.

Not surprising, but still a bummer.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
