i got my engine out and apart finally, i snapped the rod bearings on 3 and 4. the piston rings were still all intact. the cylinder walls are still ok, no scratching or gowges or anything else really visible. im waiting for a couple paychecks, then im ordering all new internals. i wanna be up to 25lbs by the summer

I think you should buy some tuning stuff before buy new parts for the motor.
