Sweet. I should be ordering mine soon as well. Good luck w/ the rebuild. I have tried IMing you a lot but your never on. Hit me up sometime if you see my name (dualgen2) online. And last what machine shop work is being done and how much is it costing you. What extra parts did you need for the machine shop. Thanks
-Dave

Hey Dave what are you having done to your head? I was mainly concerned with the pistons and rods that I don't know what should be done with the head. I'll be taking the engine out myself. Dino passed the force on to me and I believe I can do it. I saw it only took you a few days to get the kit. How much boost are you expecting to run after the rebuild?

Where are you getting the machine work done at? I am looking for a reputable shop to do mild port and bowl clean up and a good 3 angle valve job.

Let me know on a price for a mild port job with a 3 angle valve job. Also see what they charge to do thermal coatings on the combustion chambers.

yeah I am sticking with the rings. Gary wouldnt put them in there if he didnt feel that were good. Somepeople hate them some people love them. Its kinda like the ford/chevy thing..LOL
