Default Hey guys..

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I am rebuilding my engine again because of piston rings gave out and I trashed the engine again. I bought a good used engine and new head. Just incase i have a warped block or head. It will take about 2 months. i am working about 65 hours a week and have no life..I will see you guys soon..

What are they doing to it. Just rebuilding it again or did you get a new block?

I got a new block and a new head. That is a back up because they are going to test everything to find out what is the cause.. Jeff did you get your rear end?
