well there are 160k on the motor but she runs strong as hell....and the injectors are BEGGING me to put them on and run the turbo system....however i am not mechanicly advanced enough to do a rebuild by myself. nor do i really have enough time to do it unless it can be done in a weekend.

my mechanic/buddy said he would rebuild it but getting him to do stuff is tough since he is so busy and he is talking about taking the whole damn thing out and doing new water pump oil squirters, the whole shabang, he said parts would run me about 300 for total seals and all that crap which i can afford but if im rebuilding i am going to do pistons and rods....not much sense in tearing it apart without doing that...right?...and that is where the costs become prohibitive....fucking damn expensive rods and pistons.....and now i have doug telling me weisco are crap and to go with cp pistons which cost even more...

i have access to a engine lift and holder, which is a plus i have most of the tools, except for a good air compressor but this is major work we are talking about here :\ i would rather find out exactly what is wrong and have some fun before i have to buy those damn pistons......and i refuse to let oil get into my compressor housing....if in fact it is comming out my ports....680 may not seem like a lot for a snail but it still fucking makes me go crazy when i think about it.
