my current engine has fried the piston rings(for sure, not too sure about the pistons themselves, so my block will need a bore) and i'm not to sure about the valvetrain. i figured that was the case with trying to turn the crankshaft(about it not being worth the trouble) cuz I thought i remembered reading that once before. basically i'm going to try and take my rods and crank and transplant them into the other motor b/c the pistons and head are fine in it where as mine are not. like i said i'm just trying to get a motor that will last another year till i'm completely done with school b/c my current engine is not going to make it that far.

as for the engine build, it is NOT an option right now, so stop trying to explain to me the ability to do that for just a little bit more money that I don't have. A STOCK MOTOR IS THE GOAL RIGHT NOW (yes i understand it is practically pointless, but given my current situation it's the only option i have, plus at the end of everything i'll have a stock motor still left over). i'm simply trying to make one motor out of two and have the other left over as a base to play with. Yes it's a very shade tree style idea, but it's what i have to do for now to get to where i need to be
