If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all...
 
They say bad things happen in groups of 3, hopefully that's the case so all this ---- can end. :P
First I broke a main bolt in my LS block, next I either popped my hg or bent a valve in my b16 so it sounds like a subaru, and third I traded some chipping and tuning work for a b18b1 motor only to pull the head off and find it had dropped a valve and looks like someone took a jackhammer to the sleeve :X I'm really getting sick and tired of this bullshit...Honda's can suck my nuts >:(

Hes just a vagina

The block would be going through a window if I found that ----

As for your b16, boost woulda made all the problems go away

If it runs like a subaru now under n/a power, whadya think boost woulda done to it? ::) Sorry, I've popped motors in hardcore horrific ways from boost before...I prefer to be able to limp the car home in one piece than destroy it in blaze of glory only to have to pay the ungodly towing fee at the end of it all. :P When you have a mortgage payment and 2 car notes you tend to stress the details like that. ::)

Ive seen the car, and the way you dump money into it, money doesnt seem to be a problem.

Or spend money fixing the cars and doing maintenace rather than buying another, or buying a turbo kit and ripping it off a day later

That's the one thing I lucked out on...the crank from that LS is spotless. Not even the slightest groove at all to catch your nail when you run it across the journals. It's in better shape than the crank I was originally going to use and the bearings used for it are going to be a hair thicker than with the old crank...which also helps out with my tight clearance issues.
