Thanks for the offer... and who knows... I may end up taking ya up on it...
But untill I find out the real damage, I may wanna stay away from a stock
bottom end... I've been hitting near 14PSI, and I dont think the stock
guts will hold 14PSI too long (Mine didnt!! :-P) if the block isnt damaged,
I may just find some forged pistons and rods... I'm still unsure of the
exact damage.... I'll keep everyone updated tho... and I'll try to snap pics
as well....

Thanks,

Tim Berry
