thanks for the reminder on the o-rings, yeah i forgot them and the more i thought about it the further i got from the problem. we got everything hooked up tonite and fired it off. got a good motor. took a crate 6.5 n/a and converted it with all the turbo stuff off of my bad motor. i have had a hard time getting information on the n/a motor, so right now i'm a little gun shy as to the outcome. any info on the diffs in these 2 motors that you have heard would be welcome. i was told that the pre-comb chambers are slightly smaller and that they only have 5 oil piston sprayers, keep in mind these comments were not from professional mechs. any way thanks for the suggestion
