Thanks for some of the words guys, i appreciate it! I took the head into the machine shop today and showed them what happened. The guy didn't say a whole lot really, but didnt say something like" oh, its not our fault" or something like that. I think he knows they messed up somewhere..and so do I. I want to give a HUGE thanks to discounttyre420a(Sean), as he had a spare head sitting around not being used. We traded straight up for what he owed me, and so now, i have a good, complete head to work with(less all bent intake valves). I took this new head to the machine shop today, and at this point, we have agreed for them to cover everything with the new head, and getting that all set up. I didn't have time to get into just yet about a new piston, but i called up JE and ordered a new .020 over 8.8:1 piston and ring set, and shipping it 3rd day. I told the shop i want the head by this Friday. If everthing goes right, i'll have er back together this weekend. The #4 cylinder really should get a bore/hone job, but its salvagable if i just re-hone/break the glaze on it for new rings. Prob won't have like new compression in that cylinder, but it should work fine for the rest of this season. I may do a rebuild on it with a new block this winter.

For those of you who know me personally, you know that i'm a persistant, stubborn mutherfucker...you can't keep me down...This car is going to the shootout
