Well fokes these pics should serve as a warning as to why you dont have somone inexperenced build yoru engine. The PO of this car, now owned by matt, had a poor rebuild done to the car. The compresion ring (top ring) was broken when it was installed into the block at the last rebuild. This was due to improper use of the ring compresor and somone who didnt know anything. The resulting damage has runed the block behond a second over bore. The head is also runed due to the bits of ring beating agenst it. If you look carfully you can see bits of ring in the head. Fortunetly I have a spair block and head for this customer. DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
