And then you have to watch out that you don't burn/or blow the whole thing
up. I have been using Valvoline Oil in my '98 Altima, and I don't like how
it feels when I check it. It does not feel slippery, it has a Molasses type
feel to it. I checked it when it was hot. I can recall when I was a kid
that oil felt slippery. That is when you knew when to change it, when it
started to drag between your fingers.

> Yeah, Chevy 350 and Ford 289/302 parts are SO cheap it's ridiculous ($350
for a full set of custom forged pistons!) But my $2500 was for everything
bottom and top end. Bore and hone, align bore/.010 off the crank mains/new
9:1 pistons/Blueprint/balance/shotpeen polished rods/total seal rings/ARP
rod bolts, main studs/lightened flywheel/3 angle valve job/ported
exhaust/straighened-rechromed lifter shaft...etc. Believe me I tried to get
the best deal on every step along the way and it still came out to $2500. I
posted my costs a while back to the list, can't remember what the total was
yet, but it was a lot. Selective memory loss...

piece of machinery BTW!) I'm probably not even close to what that guy has
spent, nor even close to the HP output either.
