this is where I drilled away the little brace piece to get this post as straight as possible to compensate for all the crooked ones I already had.

I don't know if the posts messed up the sleeves to cause the need for an overbore or if it was just engine wear, either way it doesn't matter, it's fixed now.

I'm going to be using wiseco pistons with eagle h-beam rods in a kit from www.raceeng.com on the phone they said it would be $759 for the .020 over kit, I'm guessing shipping is extra.

the machine shop said it needed to be bored so I said ok. does it scare you because it's not normal or because it makes the sleeves want to break?

my step mom bought 2 cases of v8. I like it when it's really cold and you can't taste it too much, or with lots of lime juice and salt.

V8's good ----, basically i pour out 1/3 of the V8 and refill it with vodka.. and then take off in the car to work.

Kyle, you are very abnormal in your engine building, but I like it. Even if you bust one of those sleeves because you bored .20 over/screwed up the posts/ect... I still look up to you. ;)
