Instead of flying off and saying a bunch of **** and making it sound like you're an ***, why not just ask why it sounds like that? All of your posts just made it look like you were trying to badmouth him.

nah I try and never bad mouth people, Just making some comments, Didnt think you were all gona freak out, I was not talking **** btw.

Some people do, some don't. I did my rebuild/port with 151k miles on my engine with great compression and driveability still. It's actually a better idea to rebuild an engine before it blows, because if you blow the engine you rish ruining a bunch of the parts inside. Rebuilding before it blows (on either a high mileage engine or a questionable one) ensures that the parts will still be useable and wont be trashed by a chucked seal or something.

Adam looks like he means no harm, dude.

Like I said, man....definitely the coolest 15yr old i know. In 6yrs you'll get a beer from me, at least. Congrats on the build man, sounds like the apex seals seated right in good. Very smooth rev and pretty good hot start for no more time than you have on it.

So, about the oil pressure issue. What exactly was the issue? A loose oilpump? As in not totally installed/tightened onto the front iron?

Please keep this thread clean. If I have to do any more cleaning, I will just delete it.

It's been mentioned before, but it is worth repeating. Put the fan shrowd back on. The stock 89+ temp gauge has three settings: cold, normal and new engine. The gauge will stay in the center even though the engine is running at unsafely hot temperatures, and by the time it shoots up to the "HOT" area, it's already too late.

How long did it take you to do the rebuild? I am thinking of buy this 86 gxl down the street, it has 220k miles and runs great and is real clean but I don't know if it will be worth it.
