Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

This is chukee's old car? A few of us were discussing in the shoutbox the other day, I think I remember they said it had valve problems before, I would not be surprised if the bottom end was perfectly fine. Get the leakdown and hopefully it tells you the low compression is due to valves.

On another note, I can't believe stage 1 long blocks are going for $6k these days, I thought I was crazy for spending $3k on a really nice 2.3 like 5 years ago, ported head, radius valve job, line honed, the works.

On your DSM right? I think this guy has to pay Evo tax.
