The list is still alive and kicking running from a spare pc built sometime in the late 90s called an IBM Aptiva :) I am not looking forward to the day the hard drive quits on me. My 16v related info... I may be picking up my engine from the machine shop this week.
Here is what I'm looking at so far : clean block 60 deck block 70 bore/hone block to .0035" piston to wall clearance 72 rebuild head (machine valves and seats) 160 deck head 55 Should have the car back on the road in a month or two. We'll see if I can stick anywhere close to that schedule.
