Broooo, I was curious about how much it would cost to have someone do the work and I was quoted $2000 lol. It would be cheaper to buy a used motor and swap the motors out. But I figured now is my time to buy a nice used motor and go with some nice rods and new rings bearings etc. Considering my current motor has a lot of blowby, low oil pressure, and all sorts of issues, that I may or may not ever find the cause of I might as well go with a motor that doesn't have issues to begin with lol.

Hey, so ever since I got coolant in the oil I haven't had any oil starvation valve noise startups that I've had since I got the car, and also not valve tick at idle after its been running for a while. For all I know the car runs better lolz. Maybe the inside of the engine needed some steam cleaning.

I'm guessing that you're opening up an oil galley? And the reason is?

Inquiring minds want to know.
