hey so i blew up my gsx last year and i just bought a 95 gst and a spare motor that i brought down to a bare block and here is the start of my rebuild... btw i have never done this before so if anyone notices anything ive done wrong it would be greatly appreciated to lmk LOL. and this is also an after work this so i wont be putting new pics in every day

day 1 with bare block, head and crank... the head was tested, boiled, milled and honed. the head was tested but not milled because i would have to take out the valves and things have just gotten too expensive. and the crank was polished and cleaned up because it had a very small wear spot btw that was all done at scorpion racing including having my pistons put on the rods for a little over $400 if anyone on long island needs some engine work done tell Lars that Justin sent u, hes a good guy and really knows his s#!+

pics

here's the bare block, then crank on, pistons in (after putting on the new rings obviously... dont miss that part and I'll walk u through it, its not hard if u need help) and the rods attached to the crank (all with new bearings obvi)

very nice and clean job. I would love to do that some day by my self on my 420a :)
 
Take ## time and make shure u have the inside lubed with oil so it don't rust and make shure u plastic gauge the rod and main bearings to make shure u are not out of spec as long as u do those things u should be good and by the way looks great keep up the good work
