J&S and you'll know you're detonating like a mofo before that happens!
Was there any scoring on the cylinder walls? I'd imagine so but maybe you got lucky and you might be able to get away with it, I wouldn't recommend it but it's better than scraping the whole thing at this point.

1st one was bad synco sdue to high mileage, bad slave/master clyinders and abuse, 2nd diff and cheap syncros went, 3rd sheared off all the teeth in 3rd gear which in returned botched other stuff up in the process.
Visually it seems to all be good, of course ill have to check more precisely but yeah... I think I'm gonna try it. If it doesn't work then too bad.
Where did the two pieces go? Were they still in there when you took the head off? If not, I'd recommend checking the valves and valve seals on that cylinder closely as well. Not trying to beat you over the head with it, but I build turbos for a living and I'm willing to bet some of those pieces made it through to the turbo and damages the turbine.
Finally got everything together and started the car up tonight, engine bay caught fire... But it was a minor problem, had a gas line that wasn't tightened down. Fixed it then started it up again and no fire this time! But it's not idling right, it jumps around then goes up to 3k rmp's and stays there then jumps around again. Anybody have any idea what it could be?
Funny you say that... Looked over everything last night and found this wire not plugged in, it comes out of the wire harness with the wires for the alternator, I looked all over and can't find out where it goes. It's a green wire with a red stripe on it

It looks like it was for the oil pressure light. It also looks like you've removed the oil pressure switch and installed an oil pressure gauge?

Who knows what size the rear sway bar is for the MSP saying its the stock swaybar and has anyone tried lock collars.... mine is sliding from side to side causing the back end to want to swing out under hard turns... the little lock collar things on the inside of the rear swaybar move around. i can tap them back into place but that only holds for a day or two..

I have locking collars on the outside of the brackets and they don't move.

my stock ones are shot and move.. I'm looking for a replacement that doesn't require me to remove the entire swaybar to install.
Edit: is the rear swaybar 20mm on the MSP?
