No. I saw no point in it. She still pulled 363 rwhp at 135,000 miles.

#1 intake set up for camshaft timing.

A long story short, first TBC was determined and degree wheel set to 0. Then, camshafts were set up using factory dowel method to get them in proximity. Degree wheel method confirmed right side intake using dowel method yielded 118 degrees - 4 degrees off.
Degree wheel method on #1 cylinder and #6 cylinder was used to set intake @114 and exhaust @109.
Setting camshaft timing using degree wheel and digital gage is a long and mind bending experience for those who do this occasionally.
A great big THANK YOU Phil!!! - I am just a helper

Phil noticed carbon build up on the spark plug seats.

So, he makes a custom tool to plug the spark plug thread and cleaning tool that slips over the plug.

Windage tray and pick up.

Fully assembled minus oil filter housing and water pump.

380 is finally complete for installation. Just need to install oil filter housing and water pump.

Thank you Phil, Jim, Lee, Jerry, Ryan and the WAZOO gang!

Thank you Yun, for letting us peek over your shoulder while building the engine. It's great to see a work of art like the LT5 go through an upgrade restoration.
It looks great and will surely draw a h_ly sh_t! from you the first time you put the hammer down through 3rd gear (my very favorite gear). Might be a good phone video from the passenger seat.

Lookin' good!

Hopefully not a typical Z project, like mine seem so often to be, where it looks like I'm about done, and it turns out that I'm ABOUT started, actually...

Air Horn going out tomorrow

Forgot all about the airhorn! Shows how disoriented I am.
Any chance I can have it here by Saturday?
Motor is going in on Saturday and the drivetrain on Sunday.

Lee,

Also, don't forget to send torx bolts for the airhorn please.

LGAFF · 05-28-2014

Ok, heading to FedEx now, will see what I can do...I thought the schedule was pushed out

Yun, If the air horn doesn't make it in time, I will provide a loaner. No Worries!
