What would something like this cost? Did you change the apex seals with anything different? I've been searching around for a cheap engine to open up and have it done as right as we can for FI.

Its going to be Stellar once broken in.
Thats a pretty clever way of going about that problem.

I agree. It's nice to see a proper rebuild. I curious if the owner will be on the dyno in the near future..?
