the tops of the 3 and 4 PISTONS are chipped which is why they are getting replaced, the cylinder walls are great, going to hone them only, low mileage pistons which i shall clean so no one can dispute that or not, new rod bearings and new full ring set for the pistons milled head ARP studs and the MLS HG will bring the engine back to factory compression with better than factory strength. it will all get cleaned up nicely. whats wrong with you? think i'd half *** something? only quarter *** it since im not keeping it, and it will still be great for the next buyer, not like its going to quite on them. i almost started thinking about keeping the car myself after the rebuild, then i though, NAH labor is only so much value in my book.

AGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! now every time i see a s30 it pisses me off and the funny part is hes the one that asked if i wanted to buy it...

I'm still really surprised with my 280Z so far, rust, but it all seems to be surface rust. Everything is really solid. It's just really dirty. I've wanted to work on it more to get it ready for my turbo swap then it got cold again.
Oh well going to Florida next Friday for a week that should be nice.

thats a COMPACT pistol haha. i just recently started pistol shooting every weekend. been good to me, costs money though, gonna buy my own to save on $$ if that makes sense. lol.
also, i got that same host in my garage (borrowed froma friend) and the DSM engine is on the new stand i bought, and yeah just waiting for engine parts then i tear it down, meant to take pics but camera had no charge in it.
oh, and thought im pretty sure i know the answer to this question anyone think you can re-use an MLS head gasket thats been torqued to spec but never ran the engine with it. lol.... such a waste....

i really want a glock 17c or 19c but due to money reasons i'll probably just get a ruger since they are the same shape size gun and both are fairly indestructible. haha. also i want to keep it 9mm i think, very popular and cheap bullet.
