jim thats fubar....wow

 

if your talking to me, through trifecta. i am supercharged

 

bitch no ones talking to you....

 

Good thing 2.2's are a dime a dozen at the junkyards

 

**** your couch beeotch

 

yup... just glad I was right on the piston being bad before it really did some damage... im gonna assume with the piston being broke like that your bore was out of round?


nice carnage there jimbo.... how long did u drive it after u spun the bearing... looks like that bearing either let go while u were spinning the motor up or u just didnt relise it as kept driving till it let go... good note at least you can scrap that aluminum when recycling prices climb again

 

actually no, the walls are in perfect shape. The compression ring was holding the two pieces tight (really really tight) in there. I noticed the minor cracks and was like wtf? so i took a small screw driver and pryed on the ring and it fell out.

 

nooo heard it start ticking and i immediatly started pulling over and as soon as i got the the shoulder bang there it went.

 

anyone else going to the hot rod power tour in madison?

 

Just got back from there. Weather is pretty shitty.

 

that sucks...i need to hit up more car shows this year...is there a schedule out there i can look at to know when and where the shows that are comming up are?

 

so how did you check your piston wall....... and please dont tell me with your naked eye......cause thats not how you check a cylinder wall......i hoped you used a bore gauge. it could be off by such a small amount. are you at least honing out your bores? but i not talking you down i just dont want to see you in this boat again cause zach fucked you over, do it right the first time. but props to you if you used a bore gauge.

 

Alex looked at it when we took the head off and said the sleeves looked good, a guy my dad works with stopped out to look at it (Owned an shop and specialized in rebuilding motors and tranny's) said that the cylinder walls looked fine, so yes, i'm positive the walls are ok. The most i'm going to do is clean up the walls and take off any minor imperfections with a cylinder hone. Nothing crazy, just to clean anything minor up.

 

ok just checking cause i was informed that you werent doing anything but now that thats cleared up, hows everything coming along, what your time frame your shooting to get her back on the street

 

depends on work...i'm kind of doing it little by little after work. alex was going to come down and help me but i cant take off during mid week. Probably by July.

 

well thats not to bad of a time frame, cause i know how much you probably want it back on the streets for summer. well good luck and dont rush things. it will pay off in the end

 

hey jordan if you need help, i dont know how much help i will be.
but i only work a few times a week so i can help you!

believe you got my number so just give me a shout

 

hola, crackers!

does anyone know where i can get the cheapest price for our tires? i know stock its 215/45/18 but ive also heard 225/40/18 and 235/40/18's will fit as well.


i desperately need 4 tires.....bald as can be at 35k miles!

 

The cheapest 18" tires are going to cost between $90-$100. Most SS/SC like the 225/40s over the 215/45s from what I have read.
