New (to me) shortblock is together, TQed, with the cam in. This is my first shortblock build. All we did was cleaned the pistons and rods a little, threw some new rings in with a looser gap, and gave each bore a fresh hone with a cheapo vatozone renta-hone.
These LS motors aren't really picky, I think I just had bad luck with the previous one. It'll be interesting to see how long my first attempt at engine building lasts.
