I've given up on FE mods.... for now. Been tinkering w/ my Z28 and finally got my Turbo Miata build underway. Right now it's performance. I cannot concentrate on two aspects of the auto industry at the same time and be productive.
Plan is, as soon as I purchase a house (I've been in the market about 7 months now, but I'm picky and want a GREAT DEAL; currently have an offer on a bank owned property in Short Sale, waiting 3 weeks to hear back from them) I'm going to use the garage space to re-ring and hone the Stock block, and drill oil relief holes in each piston, OEM didn't think of that for some reason. Might try some somender grooves for the hell of it while I'm at it, although, I'm not sure lowering the compression any more will help, as the car is slow until about 4500 rpm as is, which it never sees.
If I have to replace more than the rings, I'm going to port the exhaust side of the head and then have it decked, upping compression a bit, carve some somender grooves, evening things out, and hope for a more friendly FE vehicle, that doesn't run on oil, but only uses it for lubrication. lol
2 quarts every fillup (300 miles)
