    Should I stay away from this 7M engine?

    But you maybe in the same boat with a few bucks light. Like somebody else said I think it was Homer, if the crank is still good it would maybe be worth the $200, I'd ask why the crank was out.

    Car starts, but rough idle and white smoke

    Definatly check the timing with a light and the jumper wire. You probably need to top off the coolant and check tension on the belts. Just standard stuff when you rebuild. Jdub beat me to it :)

    After all the gears are lined up, the #1 on TDC the rotor should be pointing at the #1 wire.

    Should I stay away from this 7M engine?

    You are looking at a complete rebuild, at least that's what I'd figure with a BHG. The head maybe warped frome overheating, no way telling how bad without checking it. It's a crap shoot basically, he can tell you anything but without tearing it down you won't know.

    Jumpy Start

    It's outlined in the TSRM. There also is a check in there for the CSI, engine temp sensor, and how to check your codes.

    You can go 10-5 to 1 on pump gas, 91 or better. You can also go Maft-Pro Speed Density as far as management.

    Front and Rear Shock replacement

    I think for all around use KYB's are a good choice, I've had mine on for a while now and like them. I could really say if Koni's are better but I've heard you pay for the name.

    gte block with ge parts.

    I think they are talking about the main caps IDK for sure though. The GTE and GE blocks are the same except the oil squirters I believe right or wrong IJ? Well maybe a return line for the turbo, the oil filter I think is different.

    It may well be the battery. It takes alot more juice to start it than lights, radio, etc.

    It's at the center of the pic at the bottom, a very little screw. Should be in the TSRM.

    I think i might have blown my HG (update: Confirmed BHG)

    It can be done that way it's a PITA though. Everything should be gauged to see if anything needs machined.

    I think i might have blown my HG (update: Confirmed BHG)

    You don't need high quality pics to see that damage. Your're going to have to take it all apart and check the bearings they have to be bad by the looks of your HG, looks to me like it's been going on for a while.

    Car Wont Start

    Could be that, I noticed it on another thread that the OP had conected the grounds that were supposed to go to the intake manifold, connected to the starter. It wouldn't be the first time:)
