My threads do typically end up that way haha

I didn't do the leak down or compression tests today. I've had a feeling that the rings were bad for a while now, and wet oil all over the plugs is proof enough for me. I've been plotting a very low compression turbo build for months now and just needed a reason that would justify starting it, and it appears I have the reason now. I'm thinking that Davepl is on to something though and this first self built short block needs to be real cheap, because if/when I make a mistake I don't want to ruin a 2000 dollar Dart block and some nice AFR heads.
