Third Times' A Charm? We'll See.

[Ryan]

As some of you already know, my car is alive once again. After a huge battle with the machine shop, I came out on top and they ended up paying for a completely new longblock

. A little persistence goes a long way. Big thanks to Mike again for all the help.

Motor has about 550 miles on it and is running with no problems. This motor sounds MUCH healthier than the previous one. There is no abnormal head noise coming from this motor. Put the winter wheels on today (RS 6 spokes powder coated gold), and she should be ready for winter

Motor specs:

EJ257 w/ 100mm Mahle forged pistons

'10 STI Nitrided crank

EJ205 heads w/ CnC combustion chambers

Manley valves

ACL race bearings

VF22 w/ all supporting mods

Among many more

Thanks for looking.
