well, i found some low compression in two cylinders a little over a week ago, so saturday i tore everything down and found two broken ringlands, i was too busy the rest of the week to get it back together, so i went running around after work yesterday to pick up everything i needed (some misc. bullshit so i wouldn't have to run to the store in the middle of the operation), and got straight to work. i finished at 5am this morning and drove straight to work, where i sit right now wishing i was dead :P the pics....... btw, grand total for rebuild 40 bucks (was short one piston, so i had to pick one up from a shop)

all looks good from above, no scarring on the cylinders, but i gave them all a good hone anyways.

what i found upon removal of pistons (#2 and #3 in this condition)

the 'shitty little carport' as spenser would say, littered with parts, notice the oil pan once again i actually replaced it while i was in there, so, no more double tapped pan for me, i may sell it on ebay. also, notice how the intercooler is shoved behind the bumper support :P

my 'projekteg firewall kit', local machine shop sells earls fittings, so it only cost me 8 bucks and solved my leaky oil pressure gauge as well, as opposed to having the gauge and feed line crammed on the block fitting.

i didn't take any pics of the real 'process', i was by myself and just wanted to get the ---- done. i pulled a real 'jeff frank' rebuild. reused head gasket with copper spray, had a good piston laying around and bought another used one, quick hone job with block in the car, re used rings, re used oil pan/valve cover gasket i have a feeling it's gonna hold up really well, just one of those 'holy ----, i can't believe that thing's holding up' type of deals. putting it back together....

i cleaned a lot of ---- since my engine bay was trashed from driving for a day with no dp at all (covered in soot), as well as removed a bunch of factory clips/brackets i wasn't using any more, along with a bunch of emissions bullshit, also installed my fpr i had laying around.

i'm glad i got the chance to clean everything up and fix all the bullshit i fucked up when i was so drunk doing my install. i wasn't happy with how things were after the install (looks anyways), but now i'm more than pleased with how it turned out. i drove to work this morning and took it kind of easy, no long boost pulls, but did boost quite a bit, and it feels much stronger than it did with two broken pistons :P my new slicks are in the trunk, i'll go snap a pic later, hopefully have em mounted by next thursday to run at the track again.
