i forgot i had started a blog on this. why is there blogs and journals? what is the difference? that is the question.
i drove this car as my DD for about a year and the pressed in generic plug on the oil pump finally pushed out one freezing winter morning. a combination of steel plug, aluminum oil housing, below 0 outside temp, and a warming up engine. i made it home before any real engine damage occurred but the engines static psi test is well under the service limit anyway so i figured a rebuild is in order.
this will be a high compression stroker 10:1, 2.4l over bore stuffed into a stock 6-bolt. under a stock head. goal is high torque low RPM street terror build.
its about half done, i have the bottom end built, i just need to finish the cloning machine first so i can dedicate some real man hours to this.
