Figured id share my garbage..

Suppose an update here won’t hurt. Almost bare block on a stand? Yep. I hurt it. Not sure how bad, but it blue smokes good out the fender exit, can’t even light the turbo off foot braking it anymore, coolant is black and it misses pretty bad. Roll the coals to it and it’ll run half decent for a bit. ASSuming I got a couple ring lands. Gonna slowly put this together. Little more compression, but mainly stronger parts than the factory cast garbage.

That really sucks that you hurt it, but all the hard parts of your build are already complete! I bet you’ll enjoy the car much more with some forged components and subsequent stress relief.

I knew it was getting tired and it was basically self inflicted at this point so I can’t be upset by it. Definitely going to be peace of mind having better parts in it.
 
Every time I see a simple turbo big block I want to build one, I am too dumb for boost though. I truly believe that lol

Where’s that big red X?
Boost is easy. Get out and do it. You ain’t too dumb.

Okay, I'll get my junk finished and then I'll have some extra cash maybe. I'll give it a shot, I will need to talk to you on the phone for hours though.
