Oh yea btw what happened was... Theres been a slight tick since i had it which kind of turned into a slight knock then all of a sudden a really bad knock so i parked it and pulled the oil pan and found this
So i went to the pick n pull and ended up taking apart 2 jeep motors to find a good piston but so far so good with the jy piston

Haha. When I saw how your fender trimming came out I was like oh ****. But everything else looks good man. You might want to fold the pinch seam in your front fenders if you haven't already. I don't know how much you rub but that pinch seam will cut your tires up pretty good if you tires rub.
