So i want to start by saying I LOVE DSM'S I just got my first one finally after trading it for a 85 V8 s10 i built myself. I got the eclipse for my truck and i got 250 cash full system and a brand new laptop because it had a rod knock. I knew it was going to be a bi*** i was going to have to rip out the engine and rebuild it but IDC I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Its cherry red in mint condition besides for the rod knock. So here is the start of my story from today April 5, 2012 the start of the rebuild on my 97 GsT.
here is the day i got the GsT

what do you guys think about the crank? think its good our is the picture not good enough to tell. i know it will need to be turned but think its worth rebuilding or just throw in a 6 bolt?
BUT she got waxed and polished yesterday haha
