Finished stripping the motor down to nothing this past weekend. Block seems to be ok but there was a sligh scratch on cyl 1 and a little nick on cyl 4, 3 and 2 looked perfect though. There was one chunk of metal found, which appeared to part of the #1 piston that had a hole in it. No metal shavings in the bottom end is nice so the oil cooler/turbo aren't full of shit. Probably could have just ball honed it and threw some rods/pistons in it but then I'd want to throw a huge shot at it knowing me then I'd break something else
Thought this was kind of cool
I've purchased a stock long block for 2k shipped that I am hoping will be here by the end of the week or early next week so I can get a running car again. I will be slapping the stock turbo on there and just driving the damn thing till its paid off. Maybe get a lip or some stupid little crap but nothing cool.
After I can get it paid off I'll either build this block and make this thing quick or get another dsm for a track type of car.
Just a boring update but probably the last one I'll do for a while.
