I bet you guys didnt ever see the day I considered selling the dsm and getting something *OMG* stock or maybe you did....

We did. The only surprise is that it didn't require a connecting rod achieving orbit for you to come to that conclusion.

Only 8 bent valves and 2 engine rebuilds

Did you ever consider all the AN lines might be breaking for the oil cooler because the motor torques up and down on it's mounts when you hit the gas? You might want to consider replacing the motor mounts or just using rubber line. Seriously, I have seen more AN fittings and braided hoses break than rubber with proper fitting clamps.

I'll trade you straight up - your GSX for my Talon.

aha. AHAHAHHHHAHA. your amusing quotes always get me Adam.

Yes that is exactly why I have a flexible mount, and one mount is polyurethane, my current step is to make each of the AN lines 3-inches longer to allow for a LOT of slack, luckily there is plenty of room where these are.
Im not just getting rid of it because this issue, its because of everything in the past two years. Just killing me in time and effort that I do not feel I can continue
Yeah 2 rebuilds, one I wanted to do, one because the one I wanted to do had faulty machine work. Unfortunately I put the motor together and I should have paid attention to the one balance shaft that..."didnt feel quite right". Well that bitch ended up taking out my 2 grand motor. Then I did another build. Yeah didnt cost 10-20 grand like people think, but it was the downtime and now im "nervous" about beating the shit outta my car.
