Message	I'd probably just bite the bullet and buy a new shortblock. I'd have my heads worked over, then have a fresh motor. You've had the same type of problem 3 times. I'd also be more conservative with the boost and fuel, but that goes without saying. It would drive me crazy not being able to figure out why the same thing kept happening with that block, but it would get to the point where I wouldn't want to keep putting it back in the car. Later, Matt how about you man up and kill the thing? Then cut it into little pieces and scatter them on the porch as a warning to the other gummy worms not to mess with you. - Spee 00:01:50 06/03/05 Everyone smarter than a tube of toothpaste understood the situation. - Kenny 13:28:43 07/07/05 WickedZX: right, if ghey could be cool WickedZX: it would be a del sol thtas canadian miles.....lol - 300zdett 01:38:00 08/20/05
