Hello, sorry its been so long since i was here.

I ended up replacing the entire engine.

What happened is i screwed up and made a mistake when i was putting this back together. After i put the engine back to gether it started up and ran and everthing was "fine" timing was good. But it was still not running good enough.

So, i had a guy take a head off on the side that i fixed up and i was told that two cilinder walls had some warping or what ever you want to call it. Took it to a machine shop the people there confirmed it with one of those measuring tools.

So, everything would have been fantastic if before putting it all together i had the machine shop check the block and redo the two pistons (which i was told was possible to do just two of them since the wight of the larger pistons somehow was so slight that it would not affect the balance.

So right now i have a whole motor sitting around that needs some block work.

7k later my car is ok. :)
