Sup Fellas, this is an update to my car which I hope will run in the nearest future possible. As i was about to put in my JG block, we noticed that there were some flaws in the block. There were spacing between the ductile and the sleeves. Also cracks within in the sleeve. I was informed by JG that that happens sometimes and that it is perfectly OK. I told him that that was not acceptible and he agreed to make a new block. He said this would take another week. So i took this misfortune or should I say oppurtunity to replace my 75.5 mm SRP pistons with a set of 79mm JE Pistons and make my litlle 1.6 SOHC to a mighty 1.8 SOHC. He said i had to pay the difference of the JG and SRP Piston. WHich came out to 200 dollars. Ouch!! Im really really broke right now.. Donations being exvepted. = ). hehehe. THe bad news is that the JE pistons are in backorder and my block will be done for a month.... I am hoping that "No REPLACEMENT FOR DEPLACEMENT" really is true because I am hoping to gain instant horsepower and torque. But yeah this is the story.. SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?????
