Default talk me out of it...
As you kno I recently purchased my z28 knoin it needed a clutch and had a miss...

Well it appears the miss is mechanical... however I am pushing 155-160 psi compression...

So my options are
A... drop the motor out... replace it with a lq9 build of sorts... throw it back together...
B. Part the thing out and just move on... reason why I'm considerin partin it out is because it has a rather messed up quarter... needs a bumper cover and paint... uggg...

However I have a guy willin to take my lightning...(multiple colors... needs body work and paint as trade for all the work on the camaro...

Mannnnnnnnm

What kind of mechanical? It sort of hinges on what the actual problem is to make an informed decision.

I've already talked myself out of partin it out... so it all hinges on a leakdown test imho

Miss can be caused by something in the intake that would not show up with a leak down, fyi..

turns out its valve related... did the ole pour water in the intake port with the head on the bench test... it poured out as fast as i could fill it on #6...

what was/is odd tho i pulled the other head off and noticed #5 piston has at one point slammed the intake valve pretty damn hard... leading me to think this motor has been appart before...

it also has 2.08/1.64 which i dont know if that stock or not for a stock ls1 head...
