Axle/Gears: no idea
If I was in that area I would buy that in a second. If its tpi I would gut it out and sell it all for more than 50 bucks. Im pretty sure there is some good money there.

piston rings drying out.. aka the bastard doesnt know **** about cars and his engine doesnt start. He took it to a shady shop and they told him that so they can charge him an extravogent amount of money.

Then answer me two questions:

1. Why do you own one?
2. Why are you here?
