Joy... of Building and Driving

[NO_H2O]

Ouch. Did you find a good long block?

[Humble]

New long block with warranty was sourced, $1800-ish shipped w/ 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty. Not too shabby. I footed the bill up front because mom/daughter don't have the cash, and they really need to get the bug back on the road. Got the motor installed over the weekend and did the cam break-in. Double-checked valve lash, and did a quick compression test, getting ~130s across the board. Joy goes back tomorrow to a very happy teenager
