Hahaha, well last night i found out a couple of things... First thing i found out is I'm getting a free valve spring compressor, so i can return the one i just bought. So since i didn't get to work on my head, i figured i'd start filing my rings... that's when i checked my bore... the pistons i pulled out where .040 over, and somehow some time ago, i figure that must have an 81mm bore. Well, i just so turns out, that my bore is still 80mm... How this happened, i have no idea. So i have to get my block rebored... Grrrr... but on the bright side, what i saved in this valve spring compressor will Almost pay for engine work, but on the much dimmer side, i set the rings on almost all of my motor before i realized that i should probably check to make sure the piston will actually fit, which it wont. The skirt on the piston alone were 80.88 mm or something like that. So that also means i have to buy all new rings, but the good thing is, they won't have to be file fitted... Oh wellz... I'm a dumbass
well its better than bigger bore...same thing happen to me...had to take it back the the machine shop to bore it a lil more

Hopefully if i get done with my calculus test i can get some more work done. Like weld in the oil pan baffle and change my valves out. I've got 2 leaky intake valves and one leaky exhuast valve that i've got to lap some... get the rust off of the face from sitting for nearly a year
you should still hand gap the rings to the bores still! lol! so get 82mm rings and file em down!
I'm smelling an update this weekend...
Yo, I have a question for you.. do you ever go out to the ricer hang outs up on 120th?? the sonics?? or kings?? anything on Friday nights?? I really, really wanna see your car!! I need some kind of inspiration to keep working on my car lol
I could meet you at sonic tonight? I rarely hang out at those places. Text (303)562-8716if you want
phones dead, but heading up there anyway... i won't stay too long, but i will be driving my white cars
Was there but didn't see no ludes..
CU car show tomorrow up in boulder, I'll be there..
damn, i didn't think about the fact that i didn't mention what sonic i was at. I was at the sonic on federal. there wasn't much going on when i got there. most everyone kinda fizzled out. i'm not hip in the car scene, you should PM what people are usually doing or where you kids go to hang out... hahaha
I'm tired so here are some teaser pics...
One of the things i got done last night was the valve springs... so here are some pictures from that!!!

Notice the inlet/outlets are perfect!
So the machine shop accidentally overbored the 4th cylinder .003s so that cylinder has to be bored out abd then resleeved. $uck!
