So the last week i dropped my car off at the shop after it sitting for 4 months. I finally got in my new manifold, race cat, flex-pipe, and motor mounts. After putting all of these parts into the car the shop calls me and says its ready but has a crazy idle that they can not pinpoint why. So i go down there and start some shit like a chick PMSing. I listened to the car for a bit took it around the block and i knew it was running on 3 outta 4 cylinders. I look with them for a bit and poke around we trouble shoot that it was not a leek, ignition or injection. Well we then pulled apart the head looked at it then looked at the pistons BAM that's it #2 piston rings are on top of the piston.... so this will be fun..

P.s. i forgot to add the reason it was sitting for 4 months was the manifold was cracked, and the cat broke into 2 pieces.
