Re: Selling 2.3 stroker and many 4g63t parts

It was my car. A couple corrections. It was more than 2 days before it broke. More like a week or two, since you called me asking for advice about why the car wouldn't start (not to pick bones, but I just want to be clear).

The head was rebuilt by LSE (or whoever they outsource to). Valve grind and 8 exhaust valve stem seals.

By what you said the last time we talked it sounded like the engine ate some dirt/gravel. (intake filter torn open, turbo chipped to hell, pebbles inside the turbo and zero compression). I'm thinking that is the source of damage so expect whatever other damage would be typical of that situation.

As this was my setup (though for only a very short time) I may be able to answer some things about history, build, or whatever else if Kevin can't.

*Sidebar* Did you get any more tuning done on the 2.0?
