Keep it and fix er up. I'd build a new long block if you have the budget

Let me know when you want to start tearing it down and pulling the motor. I'm glad to help free of charge, well almost (reese's)

^^I am thinking saturday maybe

Look at the bright side though, it was the end of the driving season at least, when I popped mine it was the start of June (Now that sucked ass....).

Plus, it is great to get it built up and better than before.

Atleast you had a decent beater loaned to you for a week.

(and also when you got some other work done like a year later too, lol)

I can get pistons and rods...ARP, JE, Crower, Eagle, Supertech. If you let me know what you need/want, I can work up a quote for you, joefocus style .

Hey, if you need some unskilled labor, I'd be happy to help. Always fun to learn something.

I have a auto tech. degree and my hubby used do work on cars for a living so if you need extra hands, tools, ect. let me know I am willing to drive over and help you out.

Hey thanks everyone for the offers of help and parts. Way cool. Exactly why I like this site, and didn't even bother on FF where they would have simply said ha-ha you noob.

I'd like to tear it open saturday. I would provide plenty of eats, etc of course. Anyone game?

I'm there, but I have class until noon-ish. Fall meet?

Ouch, Sorry to hear it Chris.

Fix it and drive it, and I'm sure this has crossed your mind but next time get it dynotuned. Remote tuning for FI never made any sense to me.

Ha-ha, there ya go. The November meet!

Steve, I kept hearing how good the tuning was supposed to be from them, plus it was all included in the price. At this point, I don't think it was the tuning, but rather that hose that fell off.

It's entirely possible it was just the hose, FS does have a very good reputation and I'd go with their tune for my car if I had the money for it.

It just seems risky remote tuning FI, I suppose they just start out real safe and then tweak it as you send them log files.

Let me know what you find when you get the head off of it.

i would be willing to help too

Ok, I think I will be working on this saturday. Anyone who wants to come is welcome, whether to help, or just observe and learn. I may start a little during the week, mostly prep for the major stuff saturday. And again, I'll provide something to munch on. (prob pizza or the like)

If you need directions, just let me know.

I'd be game if it wasn't hunting opener this weekend. Pics or gtfo of saturday.
