So far that's the only piston that looks cool. The head is repairable, just weld it up and shave it down; easy fix (electrolysis is the common way this happens).

Haven't pulled the oil pan yet. Once I do I'll post more carnage pic's if there is any.


Oh, and the head bolts seemed to be a bit loose ... though it's been a while since I pulled Greg's head. I know for sure one was loose, #4 exhaust side, the last bolt on the head. Haven't checked anything for warpage yet.

Well on that note.. is it all that bad if i were to run this nitrous kit and keep it at 35 hp only?

http://focus.c-f-m.com/nitrousexpressst ... -75hp.aspx

I would think it would be little enough not to harm anything...n im getting antsy waiting for 3 grand in my pocket.. 7-800 for nitrous sounds fun and i want that purge! Lol
