rick tore down the motor last night (with me there for moral support and photos!!) and basically awesomeness. photos to come. but the valve barely hit the cyclinders, he gave the go ahead that the bottom end was fine. SO we went and bought water pump/belt gasket....etc to just do a simple ls head and get it back running. End goal is to Turbo it with the street kit from http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/gostkit.html and have that all done by end of the summer. with my luck things will come up and my dreams of turbo will be shattered yet again.

pics to follow onec i get home to upload them.
