Ron's Chevette
Update
Ok so I have fitted the new tensioners and guides, have aquired two GT40R coils to run the same setup as Troyrotor and have my 32/36 Weber ready to pull down for a rekit and to get some nicer shinier parts

Update.
I have some new goodies such as King race bearings, Moly rings, New water pump and what you see... awesome
I have painted the bay black and have got hold of a 1000 watt amp and two 500 watt subs for the back...
I went to the performance shop today to inspect my block and have seen some great work! Stainlees steel Welch plugs, full acid dip and a hone so far... was told I may need a deck as there is a slight groove (so small) between where 3 and 4 cyl are. Thats where the last gasket let go last time from what I have seen so now will get the block decked and possibly bored which also means new pistons and a swap of my ring size as it looks a bit worn. s*#t!
If I have to get new pistons I will fly cut them and possibly get a new timing cover...
Enjoy

Parts
So I have now ordered brand new pistons and rings and have found out that to use hypertech pistons and have moly rings I need to go 40 thou oversize as there is very limited parts avail or at all going any smaller. This should make a little more power I'm told so am happy to do it. As I have said before I want everything to be fresh so that is a top quality build. This is the first time I have done a comlpete engine rebuild and am learning a lot. Expecially about the expense of it all.... you blokes that have big HP motors have my complete respect!
Oh Yea... the performance shop showed me one of the postons that has collapsed and she wasnt pretty
