Pics of my old engine stuff from the rebuild
 

I had my engine builder mail me the junk parts that got replaced when he rebuilt the engine. I took some pics of everything he sent me so here it is...

All the valve guides. I know there's only 15 of them. The box had a hole in it so I guess one fell out....

All of the intake valves had Patriot monogramed on them. You can barely see it...

I feel a lot better now that all the cheap/wrong Patriot Performance crap is out of my engine. It now has the proper valve guides installed the proper way, REAL Manley valves, Crower valve springs that were matched with my Crower cams, and all new piston rings.

this post needs more cow bell.

Haha!
