lol, i pinched a ring when i put it together but used it anyways, there was blowby on the cylinder i found out recently, i never really checked it till i was putting the nitrous on, the car didn't really smoke or anything. at that point i said well the motor needs rebuilt mines well blow it and rebuild it, to be honest, if it hadn't blowed i'd have been too lazy to pull it and replace that ring.

it was kinda a motivator.

i got a street bike and mustang to drive while the heads being machined and i'm waiting on the gaskets/piston rings to come in the mail.
