it's gonna take a little bit of time to get her back on the road,but it'll be worth it to save another 7 from the crusher. that's where it was headed if i didn't buy it. she should be running and driving by next year. right now,i've got most of the interior out so i can start cleaning it up.

this past weekend,i put atf in it and the engine turns with a ratchet. as i was rotating the engine by hand it felt like it was catching on something and then i heard a "pink!". when i rotate it now,it doesn't make a noise,but it does feel like it's catching on something. could it be a broken apex seal?

Can't be good. I would break it open and see what the damage is before trying to start it. Might save you some parts on the rebuild.
