Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Project: Engine Build"
Eh, I woulda left the bottem end alone.
Hopefully you get it rebuilt correctly, or else we'll be seeing another rebuild blow up.

Re: GTP Coupe White on White "Project: Engine Build"
i know i heard alot about rebuilds and them not working out, i have a friend who is really good with 3800's along with his dad who has built many engines and they also did 3 other 3800's and all ran well. we'll see what happens i think it will work out
