soo the engine was pulled apart today and the following was found....
bent con rod,spun big end bearing,cracked head thats been repaired,
the engine must of had cracked the head when the previous owner owned it and filled the chamber with water and caused a rod to bend.

The vl looks good, just needs a Group A grill to match the body kit. Not good to have a bent rod and cracked head (common problem when cooling system not bleed properly), was the block just a n/a block or turbo block. I just converted my calais to turbo and i love the boost, it pulls very good on the standard 6 psi boost.
