Default Rebuild time

Started tearing into the fox, 1 piston on the passenger side was covered in oil, and 1 on the drivers side was white (aka lean as hell!) there were metal shaving under the lower intake.... dont know why or how... and my balancer is basically welded onto my crank, broke my pully puller trying to get the thing off.

No idea what exactly i am doing, but i started cleaning the engine bay (hiding wires, cut out power steering stuff, esc) going to have my welding buddy fill in all the holes for $100. start tearing everything off for paint... SHould be done by next summer but we will see
