Yea they were very helpful but the mechanic said he thinks its electrical and he doesnt think itll be worth my money to get done by him because it would prob take him too many hours.

I dont believe that its a wiring issue

Did you have the issue only when the A/C was on?

Yo thats really not good, your pistons cant surpass your block. If you take it to a good machine shop they can actually measure your block and look up the specs to see if it has been decked too much. From what your saying I would scrap the block and wouldnt even risk it.

it can be soo many different things depending on the mechanic who did it. different people like to install things different ways so he might have unplugged some stuff by accident, or something could have broken.

I agree, its like tennis shoes..after years of wearing them would you prefer to change the inner sole, or just buy new ones.

.20 will just give you that 0 mile finish and you know for sure you wont have any issues

Oil Pump

My oil pump just literally shattered inside my engine, which caused my brand new clevite bearings to go bad. Now I have to get the crank shaved and get oversized bearings.

anyways does anyone know how good the toga high volume oil pump for the ka24de is?
