Ugh... I'm so depressed

I'm taking it in tomorrow and praying they don't find anything too bad...

Nope. Dropped it off yesterday, but it was around closing time. They should have it torn down by now though. I'm assuming I'll get a call before they close today, but I'm not sure.

That'd be great if I had the money... I'll be lucky to be able to afford the cheapest possible fix...

Will-

Take it to North Florida Performance off Lake Bradford Road, just south of the stadium. Mikey does good work, and is MUCH cheaper than Honda in terms of labor (I think he charged me $50/hr vs. Honda's $90/hr). He cannot rebuild in house, but can install any shortblock/longblock you get. He is really the best/only tuner option around Tallahassee. Just make sure that he works on it personally!

Theres been a steal on used short blocks goin around the boards. Hell even get a busted one and sleeve it. The heads are almost always machineable, and if a dude is givin ya 50/hr to rebuild, youll do great!!
