Nice work!! j/w how much did you pay to have your rods reconditioned?

SoxXpupPeT

iTrader: (34)

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! took her out today for the first time in 2 months!!!!!! IT was Great! car ran good. clutch felt smooth. everything was good. except for every once in awhile my car would bog down from a stop. i severely need a tune tho so im hoping thatll cure that issue. i also have what i hope is an exhaust leak coming from the passenger side. im writing up a new thread about it now.

and three honks im honestly not 100% sure. i dont have the list of how much each individual job did but as a whole including bearings/honeing/building cutting the crnak it came out to $1100
