db8 build
 

well i took the old trusty db8 for a drive few days ago before i was going to boost her and something just didn't feel right and what do you know something was really wrong so i checked compression and it wasn't good at all considering i just built the motor 500 miles ago the readings from the check were 110 120 85 85 ??? so i was like whoah holy ---- checked oil looked good no knocking wtf headgasket was good no oil in the water so being stumped the motor came out again and what do you know when i put the pistons in my dang rings weren't the right size had .017 of gap when it should be .0018 on a new built motor with new rings as mine had so i was like wtf the company sent me the wrong ones :S what a head ache so heres a few pics of the tear down rebuild should begin soon >:D ls-t on 12lbs here i come

day 1 got the head off as well as the radiator and front end (all b series ac stuff forsale no pics atm but pm me for pics if u want some)

Re: db8 build
 

looking good so far. I like the way wire tucks look when finished, but they look like way to much work for me to ever care to do so myself. Why is your crank fucked?
