Is there any way to check it out in person? I'd suggest that's more reliable way of avoiding problems than prayer (not saying prayer won't help, but for example I'd guess that at least a few people out of the hundreds killed in last year's hurricanes in the US, and the rougly 250,000 killed by the December '04 Tsunami in Southeast Asia were regular churchgoers ). I've read that "God helps those who help themselves" (probably paraphrasing Thessalonians 3:10 "...if any would not work, neither should he eat" (KJV)). Again, you can do a leakdown test on an engine that is siezed by removing the cams. If you can't check this car out in person, and your budget can't handle a worst-case scenario on this car, you really could end up loosing most or all of the $ you pay to ready2fix.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
