...This could possibly be my last post on this thread.....Had a F*&%king horrible day.

Got my driveshaft installed, wired up everything and went to turn it on... car would not start. Tried again and the damn thing Hydrolocked, fuel injector somehow was not seated or I have no idea, since it worked before... but it dumped fuel into cylinder 3 and 4... I used a pump and got it all out, got new injector colars (seals) and went to turn it again. Put it on ignition and let it cycle with the fuel pump, and it was fine no leaking. Then I went to turn it on and it hydrolocked again! This time it wont crank at all... I'm F*&Ked... pretty sure i bent a rod. I have no idea what I want to do. I feel like I have been screwed by budda in jail with no lube, and he never even said hi or thank you WTF.

To add to the **** list, I may have to move back to NorCal since my P.A. program is getting canceled, my lease is due in 29 days, I dont know if I will have places to keep my cars or if I can even bring them up with me. I have no idea what to do.

I dont know if it is worth trying to get a long block and try to get this all fixed in time, or if i can afford a whole new SR20det, or should I change what is bent for oem... depending on if it is just a rod, if the walls are scared from the piston, and if the valves are ok... Jeeze.. All i had to do today was install the drive shaft and finish the exhaust and I get all this shIIIT.... i got a lot to think about, here comes the beer.

at least I got a cool picture of the digital cluster working.... oh F*%king well...

I am so confused right now. Pulled the Ae86 apart, head looks ok, motor still wont turn over I could not get a motor lift so I could not check the rods, but mostly the block did not looked scared from what I could see. Injectors hold pressure, dont leek, and spray pattern looks good. We took them out the motor and charged just the rail on a external fuel tank and celica pump... maybe my walbro 392 (external 255) is too much? I am not sure how? I can figure out why it floods cylinder 3 and 4... when in the motor. yet after its removed it would not? any ideas anyone?
