This is one of those projects where you have two choices
1. Man up and buy a replacement motor
2. Attempt to nickle and dime your way to a running machine
It's likely 50/50 as to which is the better choice. I'd go with #1. Then rebuild the bad motor and do something with it.
Your think of the wrong kind of build bro, I know what I'm doing when it comes to mechanics, the build I'm talking about is in no way nickel and diming...

Bro, not to be an ass here bro but if you were so mechanical I figured you'd know there was only one way to do it, the right way. Bro.

If buying a new engine is the only right way then tell me why they came out with the term rebuild. I want a built motor so instead of wasting money on a new engine I rather measure the block and head and drop all new performance internals in it

FTR...I'm not worried about time or money, never said I was. I'm not paying for any labor for anyone to do the work that I know I can do myself. I have access to all the tools I need to perform a thorough inspection, clean, rebuild of oil pump block and head, etc. like I said you guys are under the impression of a "stock rebuild". Not what I'm planning

You will regret! Vu did that mistake and it took 2 years to blow that engine. Whereas stock engine lasted for 6 years. Good luck brotha, hope it will work out for you. We are here if you need any help

You mentioned not having enough money at the moment to afford a Halloween costume... so I suggest just replacing the bearings...

2. I dont borrow idiot I loan out so I don't know where you heard I was dirt broke.
3. Name one "good hearted" person I scammed?

if anything, it's more reliable in the long run.
