head gasket wasnt blown out but it was wet with oil.
didn't find a crack in the head. cleaned head up pretty good. Hoping it was just the head gasket. |

Motor will get it first start on tuesday or wednesday.
Only problem I found with the kit I bought from china was the compression ring for the oil control ring groove. It was buggered slightly in a small area so I had to straiten it a little bit. Otherwise the kit fit very well. |

Nope.
She failed test drive. Making what sounds kinda like a light rod knock or broken ring sound. Noise starts at 2500 rpm and continues up. However Idle sounds perfect. Compression good, engine didn't sieze. Even ran to Orielly's with it rattling away. I guess I tear it down again tomorrow. |
