ok i got the motor tore down , pistons look great and bearings do as well. show some signs of detonation but nothing bad at all. im going to replace it all , tear it completely down and clean it all. head gaskets are a week out so at absolute best it will be ready a few days before the throwdown. i will still have to re-tune and break in but it should be dam close since im not changing any things in the motor.
should have it ready but if i dont im not going to take any shortcuts. its alot of work taking this thing apart with the turbos on it . im doing the complete rebuild myself so now i can also rebuild lsx motors , just another skill to add to the list .
im building the 4 link myself as well. just need to get it back and take alot of measurements and then figure out where exactly to put the arms. im going to take a stock hanger , make a plate the same as the stock mounting locations and make the front bracket for the link attached to it so the front will bolt in for sure.
i also got a big fat raise at work today so that helps but i also got word that alot of ot work is in the future so getting time to work on this is not looking good.
im really not too goofy looking at least thats what all the ho-bags that pull up next to me in both of my trucks say .
