I WILL TRY THAT. ALSO IT SEEMS ALL THE EXHAUST VALVES ARE STUCK OPEN. I REMOVED THE ROCKER ARMS SO THAT THE SPRING IS EXPOSED. AND ALL THE EXHAUST VALVES ARE OPEN. ALSO ON THE INTAKE VALES, THEY APPEAR TO BE BURNT. LIKE A WHITE CRUST AROUND THEM.

GOT THE VALVES OUT. ALL OF THE INTAKE VALVES ARE BENT AT LIKE A 35 DEGREE ANGLE. THE EXHAUST VALVES LOOK A LITTLE OFF, SO IM GONNA REPLACE ALL OF THEM TODAY.

That is usually the result of the timing belt snapping or skipping a few teeth. After you do the valves, the engine should be good to go for another 100,000 miles

THE TIMING BELT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE WOOL. JUST WADS OF WOOL. NO BELT EXISTED WHEN I GOT THE CAR. PRETTY BAD.

That happened to me once!!! I had to replace the valves. the cause for this in my neon was that the tenssioner broke, so get one of those wile you are at it.

He did change the tensioner also, but I don't think he mentioned the water pump. That should be changed at the same time as well.

Okay I Have Rebuilt The Head. Car Starts Fine Then When I Went To Put It In Reverse It Went Forward. Now When I Put It In Gear It Does Nothing. I Checked The Fluid. Way Too Low. So I Added Some. Still Nothing. If I Rev It High Enough It Inches Forward. Any Ideas?

Did tou remove the transmission?If so then did you prefill the torque converter?That in my experience is usually the problem.
