I think Jeff would cry if I described how I put together my GSR before I sold it.. ;D

Is it ok to undertorque rod bolts becuase you used NAPA rod bearings that were completely off spec? ;D

Also, is it ok to rebuild a motor while there's still a chunk of piston melted to the wall and after 10 minutes of honing the ---- out of it just say ---- it and pretend its not there. :P

I can go on...

Since I only fucked up one cylinder I took one used piston from my buddy's GSR and just put that in. Since the walls were slightly egged it was a tight fit and that cylinder has about 4 psi higher compression than the others so its all good.

Head gasket was reused of couse

I only had LS rings so I used them so there was no need to file any ringgaps.

Suprisingly the car is still running strong to this day.
