the spi intake valve seat #4 finally let go about 2 weeks ago, seems like a good august project for me, the sidewalls look fine, i plan on putting in a new piston, i already have a new cylinder head:http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_cylinder-head-remanufactured-spartan-atk-engines_99980971-p?searchTerm=cylinder+head+atk does anyone out there have a piston and connecting rod i could buy off them? maybe a set of rings for it too?

hey I think I still have one piston from my engine. dinged up top just a bit but the top ring is still free and it will work just fine.

Haven't been on FF for a while. (Busy with the car) I went ahead and bought a piston online. Slipped it in, installed new head, gaskets t-belt, and everything else. Did most if the work in one long Saturday. She is back on the road now. With about 1100 miles on the new equipment. Just did an oil change too. The egr valve got damaged by pieces of valve seat. And needed to be replaced along with new gaskets. Also had problem with fuel rail coming loose because I broke off one of the bolts. Tapped a new hole, hasn't leaked since.
