well the block guard is ------- ---- up. when you hit boost it shoots coolant out of the overflow chamber. so its out now. and the head is at a local shop getting machined. and we still haven't done the pcv thing yet. pistons look pretty good. and everything else is holding up ok. the xs power emblem on the mani melted to the mani so now it doesn't say anything at all. but all in all a pretty good kit.
