Default Building a new motor - OaksRacing

Its been a fight all the way getting ready for Nopi in Arizona. Vendors running late on parts etc. Finally got on the dyno last night - long story made short head gasket , 2 pistons with holes and scarred cylinder walls is not a good thing.
Building a new block as we speak - wish us luck - we sure need it - trying to leave by 5am Friday.

I work right next door at Bondurant and had no plans of walking over....but if you're going to be in attendance then I might drop by.

You've got PM.
