Nice job Tom, engine making funny sounds yet? Was this the same block that ---- the bed before? Might just be leftovers, I dunno how ghetto your rebuild was.

 

Same oilpan and pistons, different block.. we cleaned it pretty good. I thought about that but I dunno...

No noises at all..

I want him to go to 20psi for a pull this weekend.

 

Pull the pan and the caps, see what you can see. If it spun a bearing, you'd know it, they don't get better with abuse.

 

He's thinking about performing blasphemy and putting a SR20 in it and leaving it all OEM. He's gonna pull it apart this winter to do some head swapping and other stuff.. if its completely screwed he's going with a nissan motor.
