alright last year i bought my 97 gtp for 600 bucks cash. basically i wont give the run down since last year but i have turned it into the racing side with a 3.4 pulley set up. when i bought it had 197000 miles on it i know quite a bit right but about 2 months ago now i checked my oil and it was a little low so i decided that the following monday i would do a oil change after i would cruise and race over the weekend well friday went smooth but saturday i guess the oil got really low and i wasnt racing at the time but we all thought we saw cops coming so i not booked it but made sure i was at least faster than one other person. pulled in the gas station and i had a bad knock and i went ****. so call me an idiot all cuz i waited and pondered about putting oil in my car but i dont care cuz i was planning on rebuilding the engine anyways in april when i get the other half of my bonus from the army. anyways a week before that incident i installed headers from speed daddy on ebay they work awsome and the rainbow effect after they get hot is kinda cool. so at this particular time my block is at a machine shop getting bored 20 over. im also ordering new heads beings my old ones were cracked in about 20 different places. those as well im getting ported and polished for cheap. i also ordered new comp cam lifters new pushrods 105 springs and retainers from wbodystore. btw wbodystore is freakin awsome. but my buddy is selling me his 1.9 rockers so thats taken care of. i have a pcm from intense and have no complaints. i was told do no get pcms from zzp for reasons so i havent in fact i really havent ordered much from zzp i prefer intense racing and wbodystore. im also ordering a tep trans prob next year when i deploy to iraq so i have the money and everything. ummm im also planning on ordereing the gtx hood just for looks but plan on doing the fwi intake from wbs as well. any questions just ask but i live in salt lake
 


1. What mods other than the 3.4 do you have?
2. When you are low on oil, odds are that isn't good. When you don't put some more in, trouble happens.
 
ya i know 3.4 pulley speed daddy headers side exit exhaust with a cherry bomb but im getting magnaflow exhuast soon. when i get the engine back it will be bored 20 over. machine shop is getting the oversized pistons and everything else i need for the bored over. getting 1.9 rockers with 105 springs installed on new headers that im getting ported and polished as well. my pcm is from intense
 


the whole reason though what happened is somebody before me tried to jack up the engine from the oil pan well as they jacked it up it dented in the oil pan pretty good breaking the oil sensor and also bending the oil snout so when i got low the oil snout was at ana ngle and basically stopped workin.
