The motor starts right up, idles solidly and seems to run good. A quick test drive around the neighborhood.....I made a small stab at the throttle, while going straight, in 1st gear about 3k and was greeted with two nice black marks and sliding ass end, so the motor seems to be running strong.
1. Brake pedal is soft, I'm sure it just needs to be bled again since all 4 calipers are new as well as the master cylinder. However, when at a stop and pressing the brake pedal it seems as though the motor reacts with a slight dip in RPMs when the pedal is pushed. Some sort of weird vacuum issue?
2. The car seems to be burning A LOT of oil. I realize it hasn't ran in a long time, but still. I'm running 10-40 Royal Purple. I'm thinking the PCV is gunked up, and I've read that a bad PDV can cause excessive oil consumption.
I'm really hoping it isn't worn rings/valve guides, but the motor seems to be running really well for that.
It's going to the shop on Tuesday for a compression test and a few other things.
Praying to god the engine isn't tired, the salvage has said they would warranty any problems, but I don't want to fuck with this headache again.
