    I prefer to pull the whole damned engine!:suicide:

    Funny thing is, I shouldn't have even been out there today! LOL My Dr. ran a stress test yesterday and I have to go in for a MRI of the head to check for bleeding on the brain tomorrow! She kind of frowned when I told her to make it for tomorrow instead of today, since I still had to finish pulling the motor! LMAO

    Oh and changing out to a set of PI heads while I have it out this time as well.:waytogo:

    A little marring on the top of the piston. But nothing major.:doh2:

    doubt it. Too grimey and just need to get her back on the road. I have no inner fenderwells on the front anyway (easier to work on it LOL) so it would be dirty in a heartbeat.

    I will be curious myself as I didn't notice much difference with the non pi's. All I have had were PI heads in this thing. But this motor came out of a 97. So now I will have a direct comparison.
