[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 12022866, member: 8854"] If you paid good money for a supposed good running car then yeah I'd feel ripped off too. Oh well can't dwell on it man. Keep ya chin up, throw some forged pistons in there and enjoy the car. I hurt my motor back in 09 doing back to back highway pulls. At the time I didn't have the money to do a stroker, cams and all that other good stuff. Sucks tearing it down to a bare block and not having $20k at your disposal lol but it's all good. I had to bore the block 20 thousands over and put in some diamond pistons with total seal rings and never looked back. Runs strong and hard. I lowered my CR too at the time in plans for big boost in the future. The lesson I learned is it killed throttle response and gas mileage so best I can tell you is stay stock CR or go up a little to 9:1 or so. Throttle response will be amazing and less boost required to get the same HP. Have fun and hope you get to enjoying the car soon. [/QUOTE]
