If you get the lower end together I can do the rest of it. I dont like ring gapping, plastigauge stuff, although I can. If you just doing drop in pistons I could prolly bang that out in a weekend. Pulling the motor is a bit more work than Id like to get into.

If anyone cares to share their $.02 about flat screen TVs it would be much appreciated. Beth & I will soon be in the market and are trying to figure out what's important.

It seems to be plasma vs. LCD and 720p vs. 1080p.

We're thinking around 42", no gaming, we watch a lot of sports & DVD's. Our budget is limited...I guess that makes LCD more attractive?

Again, any input would be great, thanks!

Any place in the area thats good to goto for this stuff? I'd like to get a dial bore gauge as well to keep around, and a set of feeler gauges.

Pretty much any decent hardware store will have some lying on their shelves. Home Depot, Lowes, ACE, True Value, etc.

Bore gauges are just a bit more tricky to set up FYI. I think you live by me, so if you want I can measure the discs for you if you want.

It was fun, I was very sloppy with my car yesterday. I think I could've done better yesterday. So you do your alignments and I will work on my driving some more. But you did got 4th out of 34 and trophied. And you beat that other S2K.
