#1158, "RE: i can't believe this shit..." In response to In response to 8
I'm the only AZ guy going at this point. turbo8u and Skrilla are going to roll through on their way and I'm still planning on busting my ass to roll. 3 guys in a DSM for 3 days each way is not gonna happen. I need to get the belts, plugs, and oil changed before I can go. I'd just leave the rings alone, but I eyeballed the gaps last summer when I built the engine (stfu everyone - I've said this before) and I pull down stock comp numbers with Wiseco 10.5:1 slugs. I need to redo the rings and I plan on doing the Total Seals. Makes sense to do them when the head is off and the engine is coming out to be repainted/the bay to be cleaned up. I've cut the new windshield, brake job, rear discs, and all sorts of other things out of the budget in trying to make this happen, but it's gonna be tight at best imo.
