I don't think I'm going to get a new block. Probably just new pistons. I might end up getting a raw performance motor, they are pretty cheap and come with a lot of stuff...

But later this week I will be getting a leak down/compression test done to diagnose my car.
When I was getting tuned my car was continually knocking and pulling out a lot of timing. First we checked cyl 4 and everything came out fine. Then we retorqued the factory knock sensor back to it's factory (which was 17.5 instead of the 50 it was at) and my car still knocked. I'm really want to find the culprit. I can smell the Oil, but my car isn't blowing it.

But on to good news, I am going to pick up my new 245/40 dunlop direzza z1 star spec's later this week!
