Default Re: Hopefully not catastrophic failure?

I'm going to suggest fuel injector connection for injectors. Made in the usa life time warranty and a friend to the registry, which I hope you consider joining. Hope to see you at carlise also

need to take apart first. You might already have FIC, RC's ,..... who knows yet. If it ran good before the crap out....... Wait to pull apart first.
Can you tell, I don't like putting parts at it till I have seen it apart.

These LT5's are pretty dang tough. Mine has had GM orange antifreeze in it ( big no ) and has been hit with 175 shot N20. Stock top end and still has the factory head gasket in place. Dang tough motors.

Yes, if needed, but injectors are a $750 investment. So, as others said, make sure you need them first.

$650 actually but not something to jump into if not needed

Dittos

After porting, there was about 1/8"-3/16" between the water and the intake runner. I was using a gasket from another vendor, so I switched to the ones available at Jerry's Gaskets, and I too used Permatex #2 around the water port.

Hope this helps.
