what was wrong with the engine he was building ?

i was told not to use the pistons cuz of the piston skirts the way they were marked up i honestly not gonna focus on the motor yet i am gonna paint it once darrens car is painted and get the trans in get all the suspension and wiring done interior back to gather then i hope by then i will have all the cash for the machine work and pistons i think i am going to send my heads in soon and have them ported and polished and get some things added to them

So you having Ken build you engine when the time comes ?

If I remember correctly I believe he has decided that he is not going to Ken. Once he gets the machine work done and the short block assembled assembling the rest will not be a issue.

well who told him not to use those pistons ?

Not only Ken... They were taken to a engine machine shop. The same shop who is going to be doing his heads and I assume the same shop that will put the short block together.

Must you be an *** since I am on the computer? Oh yeah you must. You have no idea, nor a clue. Read the thread and you would most likely find your answers. Yes a carb (again if you read you would know) Go kiss some more *** somewhere else. Do you even know what Ken quoted him? Oh wait yes you probably do know a number, do you make the decision for Jon in where he should take his parts? No, he should go where he feels most comfortable and apparently that is what he is going to do.

Edit: *Before another infraction*

for the record i have talked to ken and many others... kens price is on the high end but i haven't said no to him either i seen his work i know he does his stuff how ever it will come down to what type of money i have when it comes time but please quit the ****ing drama damn

[Gregs_gsxr]

ok....i just forgot it was a simple question, Im sure you have asked a couple questions more then once on here. Sorry for asking about his build

[Curt_irocz]

Hey Jon, when the time comes for the engine build, you get your machine work done and new pistons (I also recommend new pistons) you could assemble the engine yourself, its a good experiance and its not hard. I cant wait to see this car come together.
