Re: Project Black ValentNine AKA DSM9.0

When I dropped a valve in my Talon on 1 cylinder, it was in much worse shape than what your pic shows on cyl 3. I basically just purchased a new piston/rings and rod for that one cylinder. I also replaced all the rod bearings in all cylinders. I borrowed a bottle hone and just did a quick hone with the hand drill on that cylinder. Sprayed the shit out of it with brake cleaner. Got a replacement head. Reassembled, crossed fingers, and it worked out fine. Did it all with the block still in the car. Actually turned out to not cost all that much. Car ran great and actually ran my only 10 in that car like that. That 1 cylinder was always maybe 10psi lower compression wise than the others (So maybe 165 instead of 175), but worked out just fine obviously.
