Light at the end of the Tunnel

Post by Teg-Potential »

Thurs morning (6/9) my baby (integra) broke a timing belt and i blew the engine. But the light is that i finally get to rebuild the engine. More to come and more with pictures and up dates to come. Can't wait to test out my new brakes with more HP!!!.

i believe he does not know for sure. the shop the car went to said he needed a new engine.

hes going to bring his car over to my place and im going to look at it. most likey just bent valves and the pistons/rods should be fine. if thats the case, new head and misc other parts and he will be back up and running.
