Default 97 SPEC Itr motor went boom

during some spiritited driving this happened






took the head in to the machine shop and they said its fixable with some money. the block is ok but will need to be bored. crank is a-ok.

Its ok this is just the excuse i needed to finish my k swap parts, round up.

kinda bummed at the time it happened but I am selling all salvageable parts and moving on.

kswap is the next step for me.

Why does your 98 have that ugly *** ABS modulator?

Edit: I forgot, Felix' old car. Rigged. Did he tell you it get swiped on the left side? Once totalled?
