Heck yeah, that thing took quite a bit of abuse.

I'll be looking forward to the next build

Beau has had that b16 since high school, in fact he did his senior project on "how to do a b-series swap in a EF" with that same engine. It's been beat pretty hard over the years, and I'm pretty suprised it has even lasted this long, but I think its time beau wipes the dust of his c5 and get the 2.0l going for next year.

Nah, might take a little too much material out of 'em. I say bead blast off the oil residue, and hit the piston with the torch to flow the high spots down smooth. Massage the flycuts with a Dremel. Turn boost up higher, rev to 10K.
