I would love to man but I can't get it to Georgia, I have no way to transport it and well it doesn't really move under it's own power.
I really appreciate the offer and wish I could take you up on it. I start training for my new job tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some cash soon.
I will probably end up hitting you up for some advice with my sr though. I would enjoy learning from someone more experienced than me. If I can I'm going to try to get a daily and start building the sr and getting my car ready for the swap and cage.

Well it turns out my intake cam was off a tooth... I fixed it... but dumb ass me forgot to torque down the cam gear and it slipped and bent valves in cylinder three. I'm embarrassed to even admit it. I'm a damn fool. I'm seriously upset with myself for making such a retarded mistake. Something I have done so many times before. Ahh...
It's only the intake valves on cylinder three and I could pull the head and put new ones in but I think I'm just going to invest in a daily and put my sr together and get my car caged and all that good stuff while it's down. I'll probably end up putting new valves in the ka and keep it around for a spare motor or give it to one of my friends who need it for their car.
I want to thank all of you for your help and patience, I really appreciate it.

Put new valves in, still waiting on my paycheck to pick up a head gasket and intake manifold gasket.
Here is one of the valves.

I had the valve guides checked out to be sure they were okay and I was reassured so I went ahead and put the valves in. Everything is ready to go back together just waiting on gaskets.
