      I am researching high compression stroker options, without using custom pistons. It is a dead end. I am over thinking it.

      Well you have a budget, now all you need to do is be patient.

            It's not stupid advice for anyone, I didn't know what his budget was, but doing the right thing is always sound advice.

            Furthermore, judging by how much more money gets thrown in whenever something breaks, waiting a bit longer or getting a loan to get the proper bits or getting it done right still isn't stupid advice.

              I plan on doing the proper maintenance

              - timing belt
              - cap and rotor
              - water pump (or re use mine with a new gasket)
              - new accessory belts
              - new block seals

              Didnt work much on my car today, so engine is expected to be out tomorrow or Tuesday. Then I will pull the head and see if it is good and go from there

              So if you have a nice eta block lying around, I might be hitting you up for a 2.7i

                Toes sometimes you just need to not say anything its better sometimes to keep your mouth shut, the amount of money you have isn't the issue its your lack of knowledge and need for a expensive engine you might just fuck up in the end

                          Well fuck. Finally replaced my hood release latch and cable. The old one was broken and I've been using the screwdriver trick since I've gotten the car. After many swear words, it's done. It's not complex, just a bitch to thread the wire and grommet through the firewall.

                            Mine works, but it pops at the last end of the pullback. Looks like I'm in for a world of cursing. Hope my Throttle Cable isn't a tough fix.
