Oh boy. Have fun. Im just finishing my rebuild project. Make sure you take your time so you dont have to go and do what im doing...Taking half the motor apart to fix a fuel leak, that coincidentally started a fire on my first start up....

Just be careful!!!

Crazy double posts..

I know, I'm trying to avoid 1 year down period. I'm just lazy lately, I'm acturally shooting for May. Need to get my *** in gear.

Z4, cgotto,
Where'd you get your engines? It's been a toss up for me whether I should rebuild or buy.
