I don't lift to shift. Besides, who ever said I was a good driver? I'm average if you ask me.

Did you take your medicine today Simply? It's not Friday, so I can only assume you forgot the meds...
Well, it looks to be that I'm getting pricing for a Stage 2 short block. What do you guys think. Built bottom end? or another Stock Motor? I know, dumb question right...

well, he did come on here and state that he has a motor problem...now we just gotta wait to see what the real issue is...everything seems to be pointing towards a BHG but we shall see...hopefully its nothing too serious though, nobody likes to see a boosted tC fall to the tuning gremlins

Silence? What silence? I swear when you don't get an answer on something, you make it up and it's rather the most obsurd stuff you can come up with.
ANYHOW, I was just about to respond to you the other day Brett, but ScionLife was having some problems, and would not let me log in.
Just for updates sake, I haven't had time to get the leak down test done, nor have I called around to any trust worthy TN shops to see about getting the leak down test done. When I get that done, for the sake of narrowing down the scope I will come back on and post up the findings. Then it's off to the mad scientist after that, so we can take care of whatever needs to be taken care of.
Silence....

Yeah, a lot does point to the bhg, just by visual inspection. By performance alone, you couldn't tell that something was wrong with the car. It still pulls hard and still holds at 0.85 bar. So, when the leak down test is done, well get to crackin on it. If it's just a mere bhg, then I'll have it taken care of asap. But if it's rings or something of that nature, then I'm using the money to drop a clutch/flywheel combo into the 350z first, then go back to paying attention to the tC. I had planned on building the bottom end next year, but it might be earlier than I thought. Possible built bottom end this winter, I'll keep chiming in with diagnosis and status for those that are interested and have not experienced troubles when you beat on a car for so long.
