Next Day we are working on it is December 29,2008 Pics up soon
By the way when i say we are building it i am reffering to me(Brian) and my friend eric!Ha were both 18!!!

 

unsubd last thread, Subd this thread lol.


good stuff. GL

 

thanks man me and him are going to due are bests in the gm book were going bye thee rebuild and it says the stock cams and valves can hold over 300 and so can the connecting rods. So as far as stuff goes now Im getting the Cometic Head Gasket and Diamond Racing forged Pistons and rings. Might put new clutch in and might due cams but not to sure yet still plenty of time to decide

bump any comments

 

good luck!!
so glad im not voiding my 5 year 100k on my car

 

yea i didnt have that warrenty

 

Looks good bro. I am assuming you are staying with stock compression pistons?

 

Good luck, like I said in the other thread. Cracking open the A/C line just gave you more work than was needed. Also, if you are just doing pistons on the bottom end, don't even bother dropping the motor. You are just wasting valuable time. This all can be done in 8-10 hours start to finish.

 

I did this last summer with my friend, trust me, store and label every bolt into bags, you will be much happier and get done alot sooner.

 

U better do at least a little porting to the IM and supercharger while u have it off.

 

Your trunk carpet isnt gunna look to great I never realized how close of a fit the 2.7 is. Good luck with the build

 

thanks everyone were trying are best and where puttind diamond pistons in so whetever compression they are not going to worry about porting the im and supercharger to much money for like little horsepower gain

 

You'd be suprised on the hp gains and cooling of the iat's with the manifold and the blower being ported. Just saying . Good luck. Subscribed

 

thanks man

Timing Chain Off

Head off

Number 4 Valves All Oilly HA

What done up to this point time for motor to be pulled


new pictures guys

 

Why are you pulling the motor to change pistons?

 

because i want to my gosh does anybody read these threads im cleaning all the parts and outting new stuff in so that my 48000 mile car has basically zero miles on the new engine

 

i wish you luck man.......

 

so why are you dropping the engine if your just changing pistons.

 

did it rain when you took the head off?

 

I get the removing the engine to clean everything up but I don't understand why you removed the head first.
Also, just a heads up for the next time, the A/C line doesn't need to be removed to pull off the I/M. I have pulled 3 LSJ's out of my car and not once did I need to drain the A/C or disconnect a line.

 

Looks like coolant in the cylinders

 

yes i left the hood open lol haha anyway thanks matt ill keep u updated and everyone else i just wanted to take the head off in the car ok im sorry its my first time and im not the best at it but thanks for everyone explaining

 

took the head to a machine shop last night to get checked pulling motor tonight and i painted supercharger and valve cover

 

getting th head from the machine shop back monday it was 373 dollars and taking the block down to get checked

 

The progress looks really good. Keep it up!

 

373 dollars to do what to the head?
