this build intrigues me







RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

I @!#$ing love Russ. God damn that dude refuses to @!#$ around.

Russ doesn't play games.

New ring set has been ordered.

All parts including a bare 2.4L block will be dropped off early next week for Dead Hook Tuning/Moran Motorsport to work their magic and create a new short block.

Block will head to machine shop. Pistons will head to Swain Tech for proper coating.

I will finally be able to put Skilz10179's old parts to good use.

I appreciate that! I can get a custom built cage done for less money however. I'll find pictures of the Evo my buddy just did. SO TIGHT.

Plus I wanna get kicked out of a track for no cage first. It's a goal.

Picked up a 135K mile 2000 LD9 Sunday morning via Craigslist. Lost compression on a cylinder 3 (i believe). Pulled most of it apart throughout the day.

Attempted to drive the car around Sunday. Almost instant flashing CEL and wouldn't drive very well. Going to pull cyl 4 plug again and see if it got smashed right away. I have pretty much decided it's time to stop driving it and start yanking parts.

That is correct. My stock engine for all the good sensors and clean parts. The Craigslist engine for the bottom end machine work. Then Skilz old engine for reference and the crankshaft/rods/pistons/oil pump parts.

It was always damaged from dropping a valve into cylinder 3. I don't wanna sleeve it. I was given the block when I purchased the internals from it.

I think I hit my breaking point after I saw the mess I was creating for myself in the garage. Took a step back for the night and relaxed. Hoping I don't fully break soon. I need to enjoy this and not feel it's a necessity

Block to machine shop this morning. Pistons are being sent to Swain today. I'll have a couple weeks to wait for them to come back and in the mean time I will organize other plans of action.
