heres what ive been up to lately

took the engine out:



stripped it down:



Wiseco forged pistons 9:1 on stock forged rods with ARP bolts:



heads resurfaced:



filed pistons rings for boost and installed:



top end assembled with ls6 springs on ls1 shims, valves sandblasted and lapped, metal LIM gasket:



wire wheeled the block and painted it enamel gloss block:





back in the car:




the engine was really tight at first. infact it killed the battery after the first few starts. seems to have loosened up now. when I drove the car home the shift cable broke right upon pulling in which really sucked. got that fixed and now the fuel pump keeps priming which I will have fixed soon. hopefully the car will give me some relief then
