OK so after pushing my car mildly for the past 2 years something had to give right?

Source of the problem, cracked ringland on cylinder no. 2

Stole this idea from somebody else, works great.

So here is my part list
CP-E Stage 2 pistons 87.5mm $710
Manley H - Beam Rods $380
L19 Head Studs $295
Stage 1 Rebuild Kit with clevite bearings $880
CP-E Injector Seals $190
OEM Replacement Clutch & Pressure Plate $330
JBR BSD & Baffle $165
Engine, Hone, Line Bore, Clean & Balance + Head R/R $950
Budget around $3500, DIY Labor FTW - Ended up costing about $4000 including the new clutch
Block is measured, bores are round and only needs a quick hone
All rotating parts will be balanced
Head will be cleaned and have new valve stem seals fitted.

There really isn't much to the block once all stripped back
