Engine build

Check out those tolerances. We got an xfi brain box, cam and pulley, but have stock pistons. We got a rebuild kit on eBay for $126 or so... For such a beater car, I was shocked by how good the original engine was, in tolerances, rings looked good, normal carbon. There was some bearing wear/scratching, of course.

Check out the clearances on the rebuilt block.
