Me and my buddy work on DSM's also we're located in Manassas shoot me a pm.
Last two cars ive worked on in the last six months, one was a White 1g talon for a local buddy, and a 03' 350z.

Its been a little slow on side work lately.

Pm me we can discuss a price depending on where you want it done, if you wanna tow/drive it here we can work something out, if you need it done at your place, you need proper tools and a decent garage space to work out of.

Yeah I don't remember that conversation at all. But I'm with you, the oil pan doesn't because of the VC breather. Now if you don't have any sort of breather, or location where blowby can go, then yeah the crankcase will pressurize, but you'll find out real quick because you'll blow out all kinds of seals.

We talked about it at the shootout this last year aswell, dave will remind you, joshs engine was on the stand, and we were turning it over... remind me next time I see you.

Side note, hows the colt?

Yeah the colt is running pretty good. Probably gonna pick up some adjustable cam gears soon to dial in the cams for when I put it on the dyno. Other than that I'm just waiting to start collecting parts for the auto build.

I may have been mistaken on the time. I believe it was about a year ago you guys worked on it out of a storage unit or something like that.

Yeah I built a motor for a guy named Ryan, black 1g talon. Runs a 50 trim and basic setup, nothing fancy. The car was at a storage unit in Fburg.

Oh that car, I had very little to do with that one, think I just drank beer for most the time with that one.

Yea I know what car you're talking about. Why do you ask?

And though the point has pretty much already been made.... yea me, DSMX17, and 1SLOCOLT do a lot of DSM work around here. Check the link in my sig.

I know it's a big heavily populated area and all but you if you're looking to find a good specialist in something, consider yourself lucky to be within 25 miles.

sidenote to anyone also when looking for work, I strongly recommend taking join dates into consideration when looking at people who are offering to do work for you. If they have a later join date might wanna find out if it's because they are 18 and still learning to change oil and getting ahead of themselves trying to work on other people's cars or if they have been working on cars for 10 years and just happened to recently join. I have lost count of the number of abortions I've had to repair because someone let all the wrong people "hook them up" on working on their car.

I actually do remember this, I totally forgot what you were doing at the time I just remember you making some sort of comment and I was sitting in the chair and said "I don't think that's right" and then you thought about it for a second and said "oh yea, what the hell was I thinking?". I think it was your motor you were messing with though not Josh's.

Brandon we need badly to get your shit done, when Josh has faster timeslips for his Eagle Summit than you have for your Eclipse which has double the power, It's time to go back to the track
