Temporary donor valve covers from a 6.0 Finally pulled the valley cover, looked alot better than I was expecting. Noticed I broke the oil pressure sensor when removing the intake. (Lesson learned) Also you can see more of the original Yellow on the firewall.

Discovered all the pigtails on the front had been half-assed cut, twisted back together and no tape used. Decided to just remove the front cover and find the bumper pad broke in 2... Curse continues!

Found some new terminal crimps and using the old plug, I was able to make a new pigtail with a long lead wire that I was able to butt connect up in the wire in the wire harness where it would be protected from the elements.

I'm going to guess that the previous owner was a crackhead! This is a terrible splice job on the alternator pigtail. ðŸ˜

Finding the correct thermostat housing to match the new style water pump and except the SLP 160 stat proved to be a challenge. GM can kiss my ass for making it so complicated.

After spotting the pinched trans cooler hose, naturally I decided to remove the radiators. Reverse flush the radiator and pressure wash years of garbage off of them.

Found that the previous owner broke a head bolt and didn't repair it. The curse continues...

Noticed that the previous owner sat the radiator on top of the trans cooler hose... Had to be a crackhead!

Water pump went out, decided to tear into the motor and replace some gaskets, sensors and clean it up. Found the previous owner used spray adhesive to put foam over top of the knock sensors... smdh
