Lets see.... I bought this car from Steve over last spring break with a blown head gasket. Heres what I have had go south so far.
-18 valves (skipped timing belt, then the fuckin machinist didnt replace two when I brought it to him so I had to pull the head again to do those two)
-fried clutch, launched too hard
-oil pump shit the bed (and the previous owner or who ever worked on it before cobble fucked up the connector to the oil pressure sensor so I had no idea until it was too late) which in turn took the rod bearing. So now the crank is undoubtably all fucked up along with the block, and due to how rediculously decked my head was, the piston(s) was slapping on the head so that is probably done too.

Yeah, thats my DSM story. I have a complete good engine waiting for a rebuild now, that will be coming probably middle of May.
