Very You should have seen it before I got it. Had a crack in one sleeve and was very dirty. It's life didn't look very good until I came along, haha.

What she looked like when we first met. Had a black eye and a heroin problem.

Here she is after living with me for a little while. She doesn't have the black eye and has less of a heroin problem.

Here she is after rehab and a breast enlargement.

Here she is after everything.

Now we are matching her up with some new seals, Pauter rods, ENDYN pistons/rings/pins and some other good stuff.

Nope. Everything is being installed here. The pistons, rings and pins were an additional charge as they were made by ENDYN. The rods and rods bolts were an additional charge as they were made by Pauter but I bought them from MotorMatrix. GEM can build your block and/or motor but I opted to do that here. Good luck man. That D16 will be a beast!

Thanks for the help man!

Um, who did you contact? Did you go straight through GEM, or did you contact Viren or someone else on here?
I'm kinda confused who i should go through...
Thanks

I had been talking to Vince since mid December. I think I have talked to almost everyone who works at GEM now, heh. I'm not sure if Viren can get better prices or what but if he can I would say go through him. Give GEM a call and ask for Rob. He is a good guy.
