the key to selling yourself is using the correct terminology when trying to sell your self

for starters shot peening is the process u use to strenthen the stock rods by stress reliveing them not “Shock Ping”

head gaskets? common dude , u only have one head gasket, i understand exactly what u are saying though and ur pretty much bang on , except for some of the terms uve been using

not trying to be a dick just correcting u a bit with the words u are using , cuz alot of people on this board like to be assholes and will rip on u for no reason even knowing what u are talking about

r u by anychance from the caribbian (sp??)
