OK, Long read but I had to get some things off my chest.
the motor is a motor again. We just have to drop her back in, hook up the tranny, clutch, driveline, connectors yadda yadda yadda and then do about 50 oil changes it seems and I should be able to roll her out and put 100 or so miles on her and then change the oil again
Here is what we have done so far:
--Decked head and shaved block
--port and polish
--cryoed rotors and pads
--Samco hoses
--OEM style CF hood
--Cometic custom head gasket
--Cryogenically treated everything (if it recieves stress it saw -300 degrees)
--polished head
--polished chain cover
--polished intake manifold
--polished heat shield (courtesy of JCA-Thanks buddy!!)
--Re-align and raise suspension .5 inches
--eventual custom braided hosing and samco secondary hosing
--graffiti tagged rear side of engine (rick and I and everyone are sigining the back side of my block for sh!tz and gigs)
Just a note: this has been a long road for me and the guys at the shop. Parts, labor and tooling had to come when it was available and I wanted to take a second to thank a few people. The motor could shoot through the firewall when we start it up and I would still have this to say
:
First and foremost Todd and 2NRWERKS: Thank you for your time and expertise. Thanks for teaching me so much and allowing me to troll around you while you did your thing. thanks for understanding me at times when I would whigg out a bit (my nerves are just completely shot). I do not know where I would be right now without your friendship and help.
Jeff Carlton (the man, the legend): There is a true shortage of good men and women on this planet. You sir are one of them. Thank you for your nitrogen, time, energy, knowledge and willingness to help when others are in need. Our S community has a special gift in you, Cap'n!!
Rick (a good guy that works at 2nrwerks): You have probably talked me down and helped me the most on the emotional side of things. Laughing at my stupid jokes and keeping me on target has helped me very much. You are not bad with a wrench and impact gun either. I am glad I met you and hope to be able to help you out in the future.
Brian (Scorpion): You my friend are something special too. Without your help I would have been in the poorhouse by now. People just dont know the power of the Prizm, how in the dark they are!!! Seriously, thank you for having vacation hours and using them at just the right time and loaning me the car. I owe you big time!!
Andy, Josh, Nelson, Jeremy, JC and the rest of the people that have kept tabs and stopped by, thank you for helping out. I tell people over and over how great our FL-FL group is and the support and concern I get from people proves that every single day.
When you guys see these guys that I have mentioned, out and about, take a second and thank them again for me. They are that cool! I dont think people stop and take the time to really thank others enough anymore. They don't take the time to let those who help them out know how appreciated they are. The kindness I have been shown these past few weeks humbles me.
I can only hope to be as good a friend to them as they have been to me.
Thank you all but if the motors doesnt turn over I am punching everybody in the neck HAHAHAHA Just kidding. I would be in total darkness without you guys.

I guess now would be a bad time to tell you I mis-marked the pistons.
Just kidding. I can't wait to see results on the butt dyno and the Dynojet.
When I get my 74mm throttle body and match flowed intake manifold back and on the car. I will set up a dyno time and we can get your car dynoed, Brian's, mine, and another turbo S tuned.

Kind words Rob, I'm in tears. Well not as much as Jeff (Raven) is. We tested your engine parts out on his block first and screwed it up that is why his motor is not back together yet. Hope we learned from our mistakes. LOL
I appreciate your patience with me. I need to be cloned, as you have said numerous times. Getting pulled in all directions and still keeping the customers coming in. Also I need to thank you for the help at the shop answering the phones, cleaning up, setting up my new equipment, arranging new parts for the showroom, doing valve adjustment and keeping the customers happy as you stress out to the maximum!
You deserve 16 Vault soft drinks for your effort!

Rick kicked ass all day today and finished my car!!!
we turned her over and everything is honky dory. We just got to button her up all the way and get the last oil change in her and I should be tooling down the street to the nearest car wash to get the shop dust off her.
WOOOO HOOOOO!

Congrats my friend 
. It was good to be there to see the look on your face and the sweat come out of your pores as you hit the start button. We do have a great group of people here in Florida, seems like everytime I stop by 2NRWERKS it turns into a silverstone meet Silverstone OWNS 
.
ANyway, PrimoGen is back in business!!
