Well driving to work one day... car took a dump. Oil pressure dropped and started hearing a ticking. Well im sure it came from a lifter, ### ive already checked the rods.

Anyway, here is some current progress and cleaning.


New hg, new head with a light port job and angle job. Also installed a new tranny cooler. (im auto)

    Just look at that grim on the water pipe before, and after. I literally spent almost the whole day cleaning the engine bay. Went through a bottle of brake cleaner almost.

    Pictures really dont do it justice for how clean it really is now.

    I just cleaned the block of a motor I got to put in my car... It is not the easiest work, but well worth the effort!
