Episode Recap: Head Gaskets, Hot Takes, and Facebook Marketplace Madness
We are back in the garage after a slow stretch, and there's a lot to get into. Fro dives into his head-gasket saga on his son's Kia Optra — tensioner bolts, reverse threads, and all the import-motor headaches that came with it. They'll also catch up on Big Sky, hyping up Dustin's podium finish and pushing to finally get him on the show to tell the story firsthand.
Short Circuit registration is open, so expect some strategy talk — steady 650 index runs versus going all-motor — plus a detour into whether "you vs you" entries should be capped at drag-and-drive events.
On the build side, there's an update on the motorcycle tank that's been sitting in the shop forever, some AI-generated paint concepts for the crew's own cars, and more chatter about the wild Nivlak57 LS build now running turbos. There's also a roundup of people trying (and failing) to get AI to tune their cars.
Bo explains why he skipped last week's cruise, the guys debate weekend plans between Mocan and Tulsa, and it all wraps up with a Facebook Marketplace segment full of questionable deals — including one build nobody can quite describe.
