Thanks Doomzday.
I'm just waiting on my clutch...it should have been here last thursday so it better be here tomorrow or I will be really upset. I need to drop the last bit of parts off so I can get this build going. I've had
WAY too many hang ups thus far.
Just to name a few:
1) I bought some used pistons which turned out to be garbage and since I was too trusting, I got duped and never received a refund.
2) I bought a used 5 speed getrag w/ 2nd gear grind along with flywheel, tt passenger axle, etc etc. The guy took 1 month to deliver on the deal and only did so after I harried him to. It was just excuse after excuse. Then after all that, I receive is the tranny alone and none of the other parts I paid for...
3) So after that experience with buying used parts I was like "screw that! only new parts from here on out" So then I place an order for my wiseco pistons with one of the vendors and I received my pistons 1 month after placing an order because of like 50 complications. It wasn't their fault though, their supplier wouldn't ship the crap out so after 3 weeks, they canceled the order with them and got it from somewhere else.
4) Then, the machine shop had my block for over 2 months....They took 3 weeks alone to tell me the extent of the damage caused by my spun bearing. Then later on, they told me that everything was completed and that they were just awaiting the pistons to do a final bore. When they recieved the pistons it took them an additional 2.5 weeks to bore and hone the block. It was absolutely ridiculous.
There were many more stories but I will save my fingers and your eyes haha. Oh well, all is well and I may even have my car back by July 17th in time for my birthday.
I'll be back with more soon....
