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 
what a head ache so heres a few pics of the tear down rebuild should begin soon 
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)
begining of day two as she sits
after some head scratching i found this out(man look at that gap)
got the motor out today time for wire tuck and clean up boy was she a bi*ch
day 3 picked up the turbo and dov as well as some ic pipe
Day 4
look at the clean head it came really clean i was suprised
parts finally starting to arrive fmic for the win
