Done with boost for a while...going back to N/A :(
Well, after the past two week's headaches, heartaches, and just bad luck, i'm going back to the n/a side of the force. Popped my LS last night and thought it was only a headgasket at first (no big deal...took me about 30 minutes to yank everything including the head off) until i lifted the head off and saw this in cylinder #4...
Nothing like a big fat crack in both the inner and outer sleeves to ruin your fun. So for now i'm just gonna do what every other homo around me does...order up a B16a to drop in and leave it alone...no boost. If the LS block is any good though, i'm gonna see about having it sleeved so maybe next year I can have a fully built motor and a decent turbo setup to go back in...and on the plus side I'll also have a b16 head for some ls/vtec turbo fun This def. blows chunks...took me about 5 months just to build this from the ground up, and i think i'm lucky if i got 5 weeks out of it
Here's the car from the side...Hopefully i can get something else going for her...she's been sitting too long already
