Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Well I had a setback a few weeks ago, there is an internal plug inside the head in the timing chain area....this plug was not in my heads. This required me to retime the cams, as the chain tensioners had to be moved to insert the plugs....
So here is where we stand... Trans out.... Cam covers sealed, and tensioners set Bought an engine hoist today... So old engine should be out this weekend and new one in...

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Lee,
You're on the home stretch and will have her back on the road rowing through the gears in no time. Was it much trouble stabbing the new engine in with the headers attached? Seems this would save a lot of time and knuckle skin over putting the headers on after the engine is in.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
headers where not an issue, I had the engine in position in less than 10 minutes....motor mounts took a long time to align...maybe there is a trick...but I do not know it
