Message As those in Savannah may have noticed, I attended the convention without my car this year. I am currently in the process of a fairly thorough build, and the project took a big step forward this weekend - I received a little something in the mail from Kyle.

I had shipped him a 1995 twin turbo motor with questionable compression, so that he could rebuild it for me using some aftermarket goodies. Through discussions with Kyle and others, I settled on ordering his Stage 4 build, which included the following parts and services:

· Wiseco pistons
· Eagle/SCAT rods
· ARP rod studs
· Block inspected and acid dipped
· Block redecked
· Block water passage bored out for more water to back cylinders
· Block bored and honed using a torque plate
· Crank center weight tig welded into place
· Crank balanced
· Moly-coated race-spec main bearings
· Moly-coated race-spec rod bearings
· Block prepped and assembled
· JWT 500 cams
· JWT HD valve springs
· JWT cam sprocket adapters
· Heads inspected and cleaned
· Heads pressure tested
· Heads redecked
· Ported exhaust and intake runners
· 5-angle radius cut valve job
· Valve heights set
· New OEM valve stem seals
· Heads prepped and assembled
· New OEM cam seals
· New OEM head gaskets
· New OEM oil pump
· New OEM oil pump gasket
· New OEM lifters
· ARP head and main stud kit

Many thanks to Bernie and Ashley for helping me strip down and ship the motor out, as well as for helping me bring the rebuilt motor back into the garage.

And, of course, my thanks go out to Kyle at Import Parts Pro, for helping to guide me through the process and for putting the motor together for me.
