Message	Whats up TT.net? My name is Matt, I'm 27 and live in st.louis. I recently bought my old 90tt back with a blown motor. Loved the car and got a great deal on it so i jumped. I tore down the engine and this is what i found. Piston #4 rod #6 Also 1 valve on #1 and one on #3 i dont have a pic of currently, these cylinders spark plugs' were missing their tips. Only #4 with the blown piston had any damage to the wall. Taking a trip to the machine shop next week to see whats reusable and i found a small coolant leak below the overflow tank. So im guessing maybe it went unnoticed and was low on coolant and pushed hard. Ran 14psi on z1 ecu. If the machinist gives me good news should i be good getting a few new valves, a rod and a set of wiseco's? I'd like to completely build but funds are a little tight at the moment with medical bills and i need a new efi harness, 550cc jecs injectors w/ adapters, clutch, and to rebuild the mbc and steering rack. Turbos arent new either :( there goes my savings lol. 138k on all the parts.
