Im hoping the bottom end is ok, and just some minor damage done to piston tops.

Garm, I noticed you carry upgraded valve springs, Ill be contacting you soon about those and a intake manifold. Also cam options, if there are any.

I was able to squeeze 60k miles out of this motor without any snags until now!

I sad to hear about your motor but i think the motor has had a good life. good luck on your next build.

Thanks, yea the motor did have a good life. Im not too upset because I feel I got a lot out of it. Even though It has been a week, I do miss driving that car.

When are you going to tear into it to see what needs to be fixed?
