my trip to Beau/blacksi's work......(lots of pics)
Beau calls me for some parts, and tells me that the ZC isnt is so good of shape 
and asks me to swing on by to keep him company (ie help him out)...
i get there and i see this awsome rod!
almost a flash back to his first ZC...
found this piston from his first ZC from back in the day still chillin in his tool cart...
so damn ------ bent a rod....but wait theres more!
yeah one bent rod, 'notched' block, two pistons with broken ringlands...so thats pretty fucked...
so Beau ordered up some new rings, bearings, headgasket...etc to rebuild it. hones the cylinders too..
wait he broke two pistons and bent a rod? so whats he throwing in? yeah... A6 pistons and i think A6 rods... which should be around 8:1 CR
while Beau was preping everything i tried to make myself usefull and shined up his manifold...must say it looked bad *** before, but damn looks so much better with its new bling'in lool
umm...yeah looky what Beau found in the oil pickup
Beau showing me how you clean an oil pickup... douse it in brake clean then set the bitch on fire...
i was getting hungry and bailed on him as he was bolting the head down. he should have her running tonight
let us know how she runs Beau!
