Haha. Sounds like I'll be shadowing your footsteps. I would most likely make a error in the process of rebuilding it myself. I used to have a DSM buddy that would rip is engine apart, and put it back together on weekends for fun... (not because something broke!) I might try and get into touch with him. Have a shop machine it for me - maybe go do the rebuild with this guy on weekends. Either way I'm still interested in that companys supercharger kit so feel more then free to check the place out. People say sell the car and buy a turbo if more power is what I want... but that 7 grand I spend on a turbo engine will put me right back into this spot - wanting to rebuild the engine... Either way still very interested in rebuilding it.

Oh guess what? I had a odd problem, for a day rather... thought it was the transmission for a minute... while in gear, under acceleration - a loud timed knock (depending upon speed) which is hard to discribe - not a ping, ding, nor tick... more of a clunk would come from the rear of the car... the higher up in gear I go the lower the sound (1 and 2 were loud, 3rd you could hear it but not loud... 4th and 5th not much at all.) when I'd turn left, the sound would go away / not appear (depending if I'm making a left at a light) but when going straight, or making a right its pretty bad...

Ontop of me getting all worried... it stop'd on the way home today. I figured if it was going to break I might as well enjoy my cruise home... so I drove abit faster then normal. I know it seems stupid but to me thats the easy'st way to find out whats weak and not working correct. LoL.

Didnt proof read any of this so if some of it didn't make sense after my 12 hour day... forgive me.

P.S. Lets hear about these bigger engine swaps?
