Some of the new ish:

Took piston #4 out..and yeah. The ringland got FUCKED up...

#3 was cracked..

perfect time to reinforce the block, get some lower comp pistons and some better rods

Yessir

Im probably going with the low comp. Vitara's, 8.5:1, full floating pins, and the usual, eagle rods. I'm getting a Z6 tranny soon, and going to get a new clutch/pressure plate and a lightweight flywheel.

Id ont have the time to get my shit sleeved...so I'll probably stick in a block guard for now.

1st problem. its not tuned... spent a couple bucks and get it tuned and it will save you money... it cost almost the same amount of money to buy a fmu check valves and the bypas but it still sucks no matter what sorry about your luck i blew my car up on the high bein dumb

yeah guys, dont worry! It will be professionally tuned. I'm going to get a P28, get the conversion harness and get it tuned on Neptune. It'll be pretty expensive...but in the end, I'll have more power, and a much more reliable car...

But thanks, I'll definatly post some questions if I have some! I'm ordering a engine stand today (I still cant believe I dont have one....) Cause working on floor mats suck! haha

Welp...ordered some bullshit parts. lol
I have a steel flange for my blow off valve coming in, a blitz type 1 radiator cap on its way, and just ordered a Golden Eagle vacuum manifold (better than running 30020 T's) and some sexy new radiator hoses...I kinda kinked and jacked up my other ones
