If I ever get an FTO for myself, it's getting a certain inline 4 dropped straight into it.
I hate FWD v6's.

Good luck sweep, hope it all works out for you.

Got a update today we had a guy come out and pulled the head off of the engine and it looks like I got lucky their is a slight indentation in the head which he said is nothing to worry about and the piston is perfect.
Lucky that is was a spring washer which fell in their so it collapsed easily.
Im taking the head to a place tomorrow to check the valves for me but the look fine, just gotta get a VRS topend kit now as all of the gaskets have seen better days.

Carnt wait to get it back on the road

The guy who is checking the valves mentioned that their is a slight chance I may of closed the gap of the piston on the ring because the washer caught the side of the piston.
But I wont no for sure until I put it back together and see how it goes.
