Great job otherwise. This is rocket science to me.

Well I overhauled the engine from top to bottom so it's pretty much like new. It will have more horsepower than stock and probably about 15 hp more which is really sad. My current car is a 87 cadillac deville it gets about 140hp and gets 15mpg. The nissan after being rebuilt will have about 150-155hp. The reason it will have more than stock is when you have an engine redone they usually have to bore out the cylinders, this makes for bigger pistons. The next thing that happened is the previous owner warped the head really really bad. So they had to mill it or "shave" it down. which will increase my compression ratio = more hp.
