engines dead, could be a cracked head/block/piston or blown ring... oil out zorst + compressions all over the shop... engines going in the bin and getting a newer engine for $50, doing piston rings, cam bearings, honing the bore, copper decomp headgaskets, engine mounts, changing valve springs from my old engine and generally doing annoying crap on it then slapping it in....have to wait 2-4 weeks for that video :P sorry

Please, get it tuned this time.


You didn't listen to me last time and look what happened. Not trying to be a dick, just helpful. TUNING IS A MUST, MAF or not.

due to the space restrictions the turbo comes too close to the strut tower, im gonna bag the turbo for now... how thick are turbo bags usually

also i keep melting leads, should i heat wrap my manifolds on that side
