Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

So if there's a nice rod-sized observation window into the side of the block, are you going to make it into a coffee table?

Actually that's not a bad idea chuck, that would look cool in my man-cave..

I stole the idea from Top Gear. The real one, not the godawful US abortion. They've got a Jag motor as theirs. It looks awesome.

Got this from vsr today. The motor is balanced..

faceglide · 02-11-2014, 05:52 PM

I got excited, thought it was your invoice!

Then I was like wtf are these numbers! Balance is a good thing!

Putting together my parts list for my built block. I just tell myself, "mr. face, lets keep it under 10k, ok?". Hope you aren't as bad a spender as I am!

We're all cheering you on! Go Cosmo Go!

Stay safe bud!

COSMO · 02-18-2014, 04:48 PM

Lol bro the built motor has nothing to do with BP. That is just a simple questik question.

blackonorange · 02-18-2014, 05:08 PM

Lol wut

I know but it's obvious the question was asked as an attempt to second guess my faith in my builder. Sasha why don't you just call bobby and find out yourself and report back if meets your standards because Im sure we are all dying to know.
