Well it seems you have yourself a nice plan there.  And atleast you got the money to rebuild the engine when the gasket goes, you must not have many bills like the rest of us, LOL.

Thats about it though, i can tell you though i have saved a ton doing the installs and not paying labor. Im 6k deep into it rate now

Yeah i wish, i have a spare head that i can port myself and get decked at a shop, the cams are 300, the springs and retainers are 450, balnce shafts are 380, i will port the intake myself, pistons are 650, cometic gasket is 100, and so are the studs. I also have to get my rods honed for the pistons so so more cash. But hopefully not tell next year or two. I want to start saving for a house or condo.

Ignition timing in an internal combustion engine is the process of setting the time that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber (during the power stroke) relative to piston position and crankshaft angular velocity.

from wiki, basically there is a happy point when you run race gas or meth were your car will stop making power you like to find that and keep it around there on high octane. It will make more power this way.

Thats pretty good money for your age.  And its good you're putting money into stock and 401k, it is well worth it.  Between me and my Wife we bring home about $4200 per month, but the bills are what kills us.  We have too many CC's and a couple personal loans out.

Yeah well my employer best buy has unbelieveable stock options and 401k is good to so my dad said you need to do this so i put 5% of my check to one and 5% to the other. With the 401k i put in 5% they match 4% so its actually like i almost put in double what i put in and stock i get to buy at the lowest selling point either at the begining or end plus 15% below that. So its a win win, becuase even if it is lower at the end i still get 15% off and if it was higher at the end say it started at $30 and ended at $40 i buy it for 25 and make instant cash

Yeah thats what I used to do when I worked at Walmart.  I loved their stock and 401k.  Plus with their 401k, you were fully invested after 7 years of working there.  One of my good friends used to work at Best Buy but only part-time, he said he enjoyed it, and I enjoy my CC from there, LOL.

If you blow the head gasket, I would pull the head, have it ported, then  install a copper shim/gasket, with ARP Fasteners.





I built a 10.2 second Nissan 240 , and a few other imports. Its very easy to make them fast as hell, but performance parts are marked up too dam high for smaller cars.

The main problems were broken pistons,blown head gaskets, spun axles ,smoked clutches in the tranny and warranty claims denied.
