5th gear pulls more often than not tend to run a bit on the lean side

that sucks. well atleast u were prepared for it. got a back up. haha when mine went out i didnt have anything. my car was down for like 2 weeks till i could find a motor. then i found a motor off of a friend. when i took the head off that ---- had water in it. and i tried to clean it. but it didnt work. and now my car works like a bitch. lesson to be learned. if the cylinder walls are rusted. dont use that block. but yeah. sorry about what happened. atleast u beat him.
