the 10.4:1 factory compression is gonna limit boost a bit. only looking to make 650-700 on the stock bottom end.

 

mine blew up today

 

mine gaved up at 600 i think bad tune

 

Oh boy. No bueno

 

What fuel, boost, afr, timing, iats ect did you see failure and what exactly did you break? 600 seems kinda low.

 

Got notice my bov and wastegates arrived today. Pics up tommorow when I get back home

 

anyone know if the APR rod bolts and main studs will fit the ls3 rods and mains? I have them from my blown ls1 motor and would like to reuse if possible.

 

in answer to above question apparently they do, so I will have an all ARP long block again, just with head studs vs bolts this time

 

Gates and BOV arrived


LS7 lifters and trays


tearing down the block


Some marks on the walls where the lifter trays go, anyone seen anything like this? the trays were intact and the lifters showed no signs of wear


block in the back of the honduh ready to get hot tanked and have the rings gapped a bit for boost



im sure many of us have had a tool cart looking like this at one point or another


all the bolts bagged and tagged next to the rest of the top end parts


anyone have a good way to clean up the valves before I reinstall or a suggested clean up procedure?
