With Nopi coming up and all the cars that they were trying to get final preparations done so they would be ready for the Mainstream booth there just has not been time to fool with my motor recently. The head gasket is in. All that's left is to tear the short block back down, just to relube everything b/c it's been sitting built for about 2 months. Then put the head and block together and get it slapped in. Maybe another two weeks or so and we'll be ready to throw it on the dyno to get tuned. It's been an extreme excercise in patience that's for sure! I love my car and love driving it so to be without it for the amount of time I have has really sucked. Fortunately I have a car lot so I am not in a bind as far as having something to drive, the only thing is that everything that I drive sucks compared to my car! Mostly been driving, Cadillac's, Saturns, etc. generic shit.
